# React Workouts vs GymLift

The clearest difference is ads: GymLift at none against React Workouts's shown. GymLift also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 weeks). React Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. React Workouts sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and GymLift sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 — 5.0 for React Workouts against 5.0 for GymLift. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: React Workouts has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

React Workouts ships an update every 5 weeks, GymLift daily. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
