# Equinox+ vs Gainz Now

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gainz Now at 100% against Equinox+'s 28%. Gainz Now also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Equinox+'s advantage is ratings volume (45K vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Equinox+ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $39.99 per month and Gainz Now sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gainz Now holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Equinox+ has 45K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of Equinox+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Gainz Now's.

Equinox+ ships an update fortnightly, Gainz Now every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
