# CoachCat vs Speedwork

The clearest difference is rating: Speedwork at 5.0 against CoachCat's 4.3. Speedwork also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%). CoachCat's advantage is ratings volume (81 vs 8) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CoachCat sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Speedwork sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Speedwork holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CoachCat has 81 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of CoachCat's written reviews are positive against 100% of Speedwork's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
