# GC vs Hypertrophy

The clearest difference is ads: Hypertrophy at none against GC's shown. GC's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GC sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Hypertrophy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for GC against 5.0 for Hypertrophy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GC has 28 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GC ships an update every 3 days, Hypertrophy weekly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
