# LIT vs Pilates Project

The clearest difference is ads: Pilates Project at none against LIT's shown. Pilates Project also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 51%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). LIT's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (864 vs 63). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LIT sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Pilates Project sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pilates Project holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LIT has 864 ratings behind it against 63, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of LIT's written reviews are positive against 84% of Pilates Project's.

LIT ships an update every 6 days, Pilates Project monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
