Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FitNotes 2 at 55% against Gymlify's 0%. FitNotes 2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (571 vs 6). Gymlify's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gymlify holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FitNotes 2 has 571 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of FitNotes 2's written reviews are positive against 0% of Gymlify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FitNotes 2 ships an update every 2 months, Gymlify every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
