# MARCHON TRAINING vs STOLLA

The clearest difference is monetization model: STOLLA at free with in-app purchases against MARCHON TRAINING's subscription. STOLLA also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). MARCHON TRAINING's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (343 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MARCHON TRAINING sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and STOLLA sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $299.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

STOLLA holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MARCHON TRAINING has 343 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MARCHON TRAINING ships an update weekly, STOLLA every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
