# RepCount vs Athletic Shred

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Athletic Shred at none against RepCount's 6. Athletic Shred also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). RepCount's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 14) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RepCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Athletic Shred asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for RepCount against 5.0 for Athletic Shred. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RepCount has 13K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two.

RepCount ships an update every 10 days, Athletic Shred every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
