Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ReadyWOD at 100% against CrossFit's 51%. ReadyWOD also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). CrossFit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 18). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ReadyWOD sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. CrossFit asks for nothing beyond the download.
ReadyWOD 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 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of CrossFit's written reviews are positive against 100% of ReadyWOD's.
CrossFit ships an update every 3 weeks, ReadyWOD every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
