# Boostcamp vs StayActive

Boostcamp and StayActive both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of StayActive's written reviews are positive against 60% of Boostcamp's. StayActive also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 24) and ads (none vs shown). Boostcamp's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 3) and chart position (#149 vs unranked). On price, rating, 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. StayActive asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Boostcamp against 5.0 for StayActive. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boostcamp has 11K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Boostcamp's written reviews are positive against 100% of StayActive's.

Boostcamp ships an update fortnightly, StayActive every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
