Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: 1FIT Client at every 3 days against PT Distinction's every 4 weeks. 1FIT Client also leads on review sentiment (42% vs 28%). PT Distinction's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (121 vs 18). 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PT Distinction holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PT Distinction has 121 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of PT Distinction's written reviews are positive against 42% of 1FIT Client's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PT Distinction ships an update every 4 weeks, 1FIT Client every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
