JustGains also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (4.6K vs 26) and chart position (#129 vs unranked). On price, rating, 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 JustGains sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
