# FitHub vs ProteinLog

The clearest difference is monetization model: FitHub at free with in-app purchases against ProteinLog's subscription. FitHub also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 1) and chart position (#166 vs unranked). ProteinLog's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FitHub sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and ProteinLog sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ProteinLog holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FitHub has 25K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FitHub ships an update fortnightly, ProteinLog weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
