Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: The WOD Generator at 94% against CompTrain's 52%. The WOD Generator also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 49) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). CompTrain's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. The WOD Generator sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and CompTrain sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The WOD Generator holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The WOD Generator has 1.7K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of The WOD Generator's written reviews are positive against 52% of CompTrain's.
The WOD Generator ships an update every 5 weeks, CompTrain fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
