Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fitcron at 5.0 against Workout Planner's 4.7. Workout Planner's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Workout Planner sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Fitcron sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fitcron holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Workout Planner has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Workout Planner ships an update every 3 days, Fitcron weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
