# MacroFactor Workouts vs Competo

The clearest difference is monetization model: Competo at freemium against MacroFactor Workouts's subscription. MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MacroFactor Workouts sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Competo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MacroFactor Workouts holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacroFactor Workouts has 4.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of MacroFactor Workouts's written reviews are positive against 50% of Competo's.
