# GymSplat vs Specimen

The clearest difference is ads: GymSplat at none against Specimen's shown. GymSplat also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 9 days) and ratings volume (130 vs 1). Specimen's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GymSplat sells 26 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Specimen sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Specimen holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GymSplat has 130 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GymSplat ships an update daily, Specimen every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
