# RepCount vs JustStart Gym

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JustStart Gym at none against RepCount's 7. JustStart Gym also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). RepCount's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RepCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. JustStart Gym 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 JustStart Gym. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RepCount has 13K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

RepCount ships an update weekly, JustStart Gym fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
