Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WODwell at none against Hero WOD's shown. WODwell also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Hero WOD's advantage is ratings volume (55 vs 7) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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. Hero WOD sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and WODwell sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $39.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WODwell holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hero WOD has 55 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Hero WOD's written reviews are positive against 100% of WODwell's.
Hero WOD ships an update every 2 months, WODwell every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
