# CrossFit vs WOD Machine

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CrossFit at none against WOD Machine's 1. CrossFit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months). WOD Machine's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WOD Machine sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CrossFit asks for nothing beyond the download.

WOD Machine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CrossFit has 3.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CrossFit ships an update every 3 weeks, WOD Machine every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
