# MacroFactor Workouts vs Forteva

The clearest difference is monetization model: Forteva at freemium against MacroFactor Workouts's subscription. Forteva also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 2) and chart position (#137 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MacroFactor Workouts sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Forteva sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Forteva holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacroFactor Workouts has 4.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
