Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: CrossFit at 3.8K against Comal Active's 5. Comal Active's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 51%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for CrossFit against 4.8 for Comal Active. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CrossFit has 3.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of CrossFit's written reviews are positive against 67% of Comal Active's.
CrossFit ships an update every 3 weeks, Comal Active fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
