Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Strive at 4.8 against BattleFit's 1.5. Strive also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 2). BattleFit's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (82% vs 71%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BattleFit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Strive sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Strive holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Strive has 3.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of BattleFit's written reviews are positive against 71% of Strive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BattleFit ships an update monthly, Strive every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
