# RepCount vs GymBook

The clearest difference is ratings volume: RepCount at 14K against GymBook's 2.4K. GymBook'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 sells 10 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. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RepCount has 14K 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's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
