# MacroFactor Workouts vs Hone

The clearest difference is monetization model: Hone at freemium against MacroFactor Workouts's subscription. Hone also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (4.6K vs 4) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, 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 Hone sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hone holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacroFactor Workouts has 4.6K ratings behind it against 4, 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 Hone's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
