# Argus vs The Body Coach Workout Planner

The clearest difference is monetization model: Argus at free with in-app purchases against The Body Coach Workout Planner's subscription. Argus also leads on ratings volume (36K vs 370). The Body Coach Workout Planner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Argus sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and The Body Coach Workout Planner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 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 Argus against 4.9 for The Body Coach Workout Planner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Argus has 36K ratings behind it against 370, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Argus's written reviews are positive against 87% of The Body Coach Workout Planner's.

Argus ships an update monthly, The Body Coach Workout Planner fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
