Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Stronger at 4.8 against SelfQuest's 4.1. Stronger also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 490). SelfQuest's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 49%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Stronger sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and SelfQuest sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stronger holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stronger has 18K ratings behind it against 490, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Stronger's written reviews are positive against 70% of SelfQuest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stronger ships an update every 3 days, SelfQuest every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
