Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Treadmill Trainer Workouts at free with in-app purchases against PulseTread's subscription. Treadmill Trainer Workouts also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (548 vs 29). PulseTread's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (68% vs 55%). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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. PulseTread sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Treadmill Trainer Workouts sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Treadmill Trainer Workouts holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Treadmill Trainer Workouts has 548 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of PulseTread's written reviews are positive against 55% of Treadmill Trainer Workouts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PulseTread ships an update every 2 weeks, Treadmill Trainer Workouts every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on July 5, 2026 and July 6, 2026 respectively.
