Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Strength Workouts at freemium against Peak Strength's subscription. Strength Workouts also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Peak Strength's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 10). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Peak Strength sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per month and Strength Workouts sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Peak Strength holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peak Strength has 1.5K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Peak Strength's written reviews are positive against 100% of Strength Workouts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Peak Strength ships an update every 5 weeks, Strength Workouts fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
