# Better Workout vs GymRat

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GymRat at none against Better Workout's 8. GymRat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Better Workout's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.2). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Better Workout sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. GymRat asks for nothing beyond the download.

GymRat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Better Workout has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
