# Yoga Joint Studios vs V Pilates

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: V Pilates at none against Yoga Joint Studios's 1. Yoga Joint Studios's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yoga Joint Studios sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. V Pilates asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Yoga Joint Studios against 5.0 for V Pilates. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yoga Joint Studios has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Yoga Joint Studios ships an update every 3 months, V Pilates every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
