# Cyclist vs Cyclingoo

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cyclingoo at free with in-app purchases against Cyclist's subscription. Cyclingoo also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 46%) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). Cyclist's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cyclist sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per 3 months and Cyclingoo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.69 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 Cyclist against 4.8 for Cyclingoo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cyclingoo has 1.1K ratings behind it against 148, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 46% of Cyclist's written reviews are positive against 82% of Cyclingoo's.

Cyclist ships an update every 4 months, Cyclingoo every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
