# Arrow vs Gymify

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Arrow at 78% against Gymify's 0%. Arrow also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Gymify's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arrow sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.39 per month and Gymify sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Arrow holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arrow has 9.1K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Arrow's written reviews are positive against 0% of Gymify's.

Arrow ships an update every 2 weeks, Gymify weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
