Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MyGEHA at 4.6 against MOVE! Coach's 4.2. MyGEHA also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 520). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
MyGEHA holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyGEHA has 2.7K ratings behind it against 520, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of MOVE! Coach's written reviews are positive against 19% of MyGEHA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MOVE! Coach ships an update every 3 months, MyGEHA monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
