# MacroFactor Workouts vs Kova

Kova also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 3) and chart position (#114 vs unranked).

Both are free to download. MacroFactor Workouts sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Kova sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
