Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pilates at 4.4 against Pilates's 3.9. Pilates also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (26 vs 7). Pilates's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (33% vs 15%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pilates sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Pilates sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pilates holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Pilates's written reviews are positive against 15% of Pilates's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pilates ships an update every 3 months, Pilates every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
