# SelfQuest vs Fitlytics

The clearest difference is rating: Fitlytics at 4.7 against SelfQuest's 4.1. Fitlytics also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 70%). SelfQuest's advantage is ratings volume (488 vs 15). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SelfQuest sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Fitlytics sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fitlytics holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SelfQuest has 488 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two.
