# MacroFactor Workouts vs Pepmax

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pepmax at freemium against MacroFactor Workouts's subscription. Pepmax also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (4.4K vs 3) and chart position (#132 vs unranked). 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 Pepmax sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pepmax holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacroFactor Workouts has 4.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MacroFactor Workouts ships an update every 10 days, Pepmax every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
