# GymUp vs TransformMate

The clearest difference is rating: TransformMate at 4.4 against GymUp's 4.2. TransformMate also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GymUp sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and TransformMate sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TransformMate holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of GymUp's written reviews are positive against 45% of TransformMate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
