Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GymLevels at 4.8 against OpenWorkout's 4.0. GymLevels also leads on ratings volume (694 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). OpenWorkout's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 26%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. OpenWorkout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GymLevels sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GymLevels holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GymLevels has 694 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of OpenWorkout's written reviews are positive against 26% of GymLevels's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OpenWorkout ships an update every 2 weeks, GymLevels weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
