# ATAC vs Peak Strength

The clearest difference is ads: Peak Strength at none against ATAC's shown. Peak Strength also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 174). ATAC's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ATAC sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Peak Strength sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Peak Strength holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peak Strength has 1.5K ratings behind it against 174, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of ATAC's written reviews are positive against 71% of Peak Strength's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ATAC ships an update every 3 weeks, Peak Strength every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
