# RepCount vs GymBook ・ Strength Training

The clearest difference is ratings volume: RepCount at 13K against GymBook ・ Strength Training's 2.4K. GymBook ・ Strength Training's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RepCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and GymBook ・ Strength Training sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 — 4.9 for RepCount against 4.8 for GymBook ・ Strength Training. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RepCount has 13K ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of RepCount's written reviews are positive against 95% of GymBook ・ Strength Training's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
