# MacroFactor Workouts vs MyLiftingCoach

The clearest difference is rating: MacroFactor Workouts at 4.8 against MyLiftingCoach's 4.2. MacroFactor Workouts also leads on ratings volume (4.6K vs 5) and chart position (#137 vs unranked). MyLiftingCoach's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MacroFactor Workouts sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and MyLiftingCoach sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 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 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacroFactor Workouts has 4.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of MacroFactor Workouts's written reviews are positive against 100% of MyLiftingCoach's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MacroFactor Workouts ships an update every 2 weeks, MyLiftingCoach every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
