Verdict

The call

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
