Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OpenWorkout at 5.0 against LiftLog's 4.4. LiftLog's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 50%) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. LiftLog sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and OpenWorkout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
OpenWorkout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiftLog has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of LiftLog's written reviews are positive against 50% of OpenWorkout's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LiftLog ships an update every 4 days, OpenWorkout every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
