# Stack Team App vs Athletic.APP

The clearest difference is ads: Athletic.APP at none against Stack Team App's shown. Stack Team App's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 277) and rating (4.0 vs 3.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stack Team App sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per year and Athletic.APP sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stack Team App holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stack Team App has 15K ratings behind it against 277, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of Stack Team App's written reviews are positive against 29% of Athletic.APP's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
