# Flara vs GymBook

The clearest difference is ads: Flara at none against GymBook's shown. Flara also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months). GymBook's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flara sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per 7 days and GymBook sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flara ships an update every 9 days, GymBook every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
