# Wahoo vs ErgZone

Wahoo and ErgZone both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of ErgZone's written reviews are positive against 42% of Wahoo's. ErgZone also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 18.0). Wahoo's advantage is ratings volume (43K vs 458) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wahoo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and ErgZone sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Wahoo against 4.8 for ErgZone. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wahoo has 43K ratings behind it against 458, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 42% of Wahoo's written reviews are positive against 81% of ErgZone's.

Wahoo ships an update fortnightly, ErgZone every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
