# RepCount vs Dumbbell Workouts

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RepCount at 93% against Dumbbell Workouts's 44%. RepCount also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (14K vs 1.2K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RepCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Dumbbell Workouts sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
