# RP Hypertrophy vs MacroFactor Workouts

The clearest difference is rating: MacroFactor Workouts at 4.8 against RP Hypertrophy's 4.3. MacroFactor Workouts also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 229) and chart position (#133 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RP Hypertrophy sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month and MacroFactor Workouts sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MacroFactor Workouts holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacroFactor Workouts has 4.4K ratings behind it against 229, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of RP Hypertrophy's written reviews are positive against 74% of MacroFactor Workouts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RP Hypertrophy ships an update every 2 weeks, MacroFactor Workouts every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
