# InsideTracker vs Optimal Athlete

The clearest difference is rating: Optimal Athlete at 5.0 against InsideTracker's 3.4. Optimal Athlete also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and device support (3 vs 1). InsideTracker's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (342 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InsideTracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $149.00 per year and Optimal Athlete sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Optimal Athlete holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InsideTracker has 342 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

InsideTracker ships an update fortnightly, Optimal Athlete every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
