# CycleComputer vs Cyclr

The clearest difference is ads: Cyclr at none against CycleComputer's shown. Cyclr also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). CycleComputer's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (628 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CycleComputer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cyclr sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CycleComputer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CycleComputer has 628 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 79% and 80% positive.

CycleComputer ships an update every 5 weeks, Cyclr every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
