Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pilates Project at free with in-app purchases against Forma Pilates's subscription. Pilates Project also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Forma Pilates's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Forma Pilates sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $50.00 per month and Pilates Project sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pilates Project holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 178 and 62 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Forma Pilates's written reviews are positive against 84% of Pilates Project's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Forma Pilates ships an update every 9 days, Pilates Project monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
