Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wahoo at 4.7 against ThinkFIT's 3.7. Wahoo also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (43K vs 3). ThinkFIT's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Wahoo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. ThinkFIT asks for nothing beyond the download.
Wahoo holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wahoo has 43K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Wahoo's written reviews are positive against 50% of ThinkFIT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wahoo ships an update fortnightly, ThinkFIT every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
