Connect ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini once. Make it yours with coral or lime, four app icons and widgets. GC (short for Gym Commitment) is a gym log your own AI can send plans to.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GC at 5.0 against Motivate's 4.2. GC also leads on ratings volume (29 vs 5). Motivate's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases 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. GC sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Motivate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GC has 29 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
