# 7 Minute Workout vs Bolt

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 7 Minute Workout at 14K against Bolt's 1.4K. 7 Minute Workout also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 79%) and device support (4 vs 2). Bolt's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 7 Minute Workout sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Bolt sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for 7 Minute Workout against 4.8 for Bolt. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 7 Minute Workout has 14K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of 7 Minute Workout's written reviews are positive against 79% of Bolt's.

7 Minute Workout ships an update every 2 weeks, Bolt every 6 days. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
