Aura requires a paid monthly or annual subscription to access its training features. Both plans include a 7-day free trial for eligible subscribers. FEATURES INCLUDED WITH A PAID SUBSCRIPTION Organize your workouts and keep a record of your training. Both plans include the same features described below. The interface is available in English and Spanish. Create routines or explore Aura's options and adapt them to your training. Watch clips for exercises in the catalog and add your own exercises with notes and images. Log sets, reps, weight or time to match each exercise. Organize supersets and drop sets, keep track of the equipment you used and time your rest periods. Review your history, progress and personal records calculated from saved sessions. Keep your routines, gyms and equipment organized in one place. Plan each set with a target weight and reps, and leave next time's plan ready. Add substitute exercises to your routines, build cycles with the routine that's up next, and follow your streak and weekly goal. No Aura account is required. Your workout records stay on your device, and you can create, export and restore local backups. This version does not create new iCloud backups; it can restore backups made by previous versions. SUBSCRIPTION AND ACCESS Both plans include a 7-day free trial for eligible subscribers: if you don't cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the plan you chose is charged. Apple allows one trial per subscription group. Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically. The local price and period are shown before confirmation in the App Store; manage or cancel through your Apple account. Apple processes payments and RevenueCat validates access and restoration. Recognized legacy installations with access predating the paywall retain permanent access; other installations keep their subscription rules. If a subscription expires, you can view and export your data and finish a workout already in progress; starting another workout requires renewal. Maps and address searches use Apple services. Notifications, the camera and your location depend on the permissions you choose to grant. For details, open Settings > Privacy policy in the app. Terms of use (Apple EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Optionally connect Apple Health to save the start, end and duration of strength workouts without calories, and view your weight in Progress without copying it to backups.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IronPulse Gym Tracker at none against Aura's 2. IronPulse Gym Tracker also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Aura's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
