# MacroFactor Workouts vs Load/Ready

The clearest difference is monetization model: Load/Ready at free with in-app purchases against MacroFactor Workouts's subscription. Load/Ready also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 3) and chart position (#108 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 Load/Ready sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Load/Ready 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 3, 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 100% of Load/Ready's.

MacroFactor Workouts ships an update every 10 days, Load/Ready every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
