# Wahoo vs ICG Training

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Wahoo at 43K against ICG Training's 2.4K. Wahoo also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). ICG Training's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wahoo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and ICG Training sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 4.6 for ICG Training. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wahoo has 43K ratings behind it against 2.4K, 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 47% of ICG Training's.

Wahoo ships an update fortnightly, ICG Training every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
