# ArtWorkout vs Sidetake

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sidetake at none against ArtWorkout's 24. Sidetake also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). ArtWorkout's advantage is chart position (#79 vs unranked) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ArtWorkout sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Sidetake asks for nothing beyond the download.

ArtWorkout ships an update weekly, Sidetake fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
