# Boostcamp vs Pumpd

The clearest difference is ads: Pumpd at none against Boostcamp's shown. Pumpd also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Boostcamp's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boostcamp sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Pumpd sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pumpd holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boostcamp has 10K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Boostcamp ships an update fortnightly, Pumpd every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
