Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Motion Workout Tracker at 100% against Arise's 53%. Motion Workout Tracker also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Arise's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 13). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Arise sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Motion Workout Tracker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Motion Workout Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arise has 21K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Arise's written reviews are positive against 100% of Motion Workout Tracker's.
Arise ships an update fortnightly, Motion Workout Tracker every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
