You already know who won't let you quit. Compete NG is built for two. Link up with someone you care about — a parent, a best friend, a partner — set your own weekly movement goal, and show up for each other. In 2020, our founder set a simple weekly goal and invited his dad — 61 and also struggling — to do the same. No perfection required. Just a promise. Eighteen months later he was down 40 lbs. His dad lost 30 lbs and cut 8 strokes off his golf handicap. That spreadsheet became Compete. Your goal. Your pace. Your person. No judgment. Our health is everything. Take a different approach this time. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Compete NG at weekly against Overload's every 6 weeks. Compete NG also leads on ratings volume (30 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Compete NG sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Overload sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. 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 Compete NG against 5.0 for Overload. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Compete NG has 30 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Compete NG ships an update weekly, Overload every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
