# Elevate vs MacroFactor Workouts

The clearest difference is monetization model: Elevate at free against MacroFactor Workouts's subscription. Elevate also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Elevate sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MacroFactor Workouts sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Elevate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacroFactor Workouts has 4.6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Elevate's written reviews are positive against 74% of MacroFactor Workouts's.

Elevate ships an update every 2 months, MacroFactor Workouts every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
