# Equinox+ vs RivalByM

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RivalByM at 100% against Equinox+'s 28%. RivalByM also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Equinox+'s advantage is ratings volume (44K vs 15). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Equinox+ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $39.99 per month. RivalByM asks for nothing beyond the download.

RivalByM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
