# Pull Ups vs GOLDEN Bars

The clearest difference is rating: Pull Ups at 5.0 against GOLDEN Bars's 4.3. GOLDEN Bars's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pull Ups sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GOLDEN Bars sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pull Ups holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GOLDEN Bars has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Pull Ups ships an update fortnightly, GOLDEN Bars every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
