# RaceJoy vs Peloton Strength+

The clearest difference is rating: Peloton Strength+ at 4.8 against RaceJoy's 3.9. Peloton Strength+ also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (17K vs 1.6K). RaceJoy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#201 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RaceJoy sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Peloton Strength+ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Peloton Strength+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peloton Strength+ has 17K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of RaceJoy's written reviews are positive against 55% of Peloton Strength+'s.

RaceJoy ships an update every 2 months, Peloton Strength+ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
