# Stretch vs Stretch Now

Stretch and Stretch Now both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Stretch Now's written reviews are positive against 69% of Stretch's. Stretch's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 588). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stretch sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Stretch Now sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Stretch against 4.9 for Stretch Now. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stretch has 3.2K ratings behind it against 588, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Stretch's written reviews are positive against 83% of Stretch Now's.

Stretch ships an update every 5 weeks, Stretch Now monthly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
