# SmartWorkout vs Gymlify

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SmartWorkout at 100% against Gymlify's 0%. SmartWorkout also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Gymlify's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SmartWorkout sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Gymlify sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gymlify holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SmartWorkout's written reviews are positive against 0% of Gymlify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SmartWorkout ships an update every 2 days, Gymlify every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
