# GZCL Method Workout Logger vs Stronger

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Stronger at 18K against GZCL Method Workout Logger's 233. Stronger also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). GZCL Method Workout Logger's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 49%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GZCL Method Workout Logger sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Stronger sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for GZCL Method Workout Logger against 4.8 for Stronger. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stronger has 18K ratings behind it against 233, so its average is the more settled of the two.
