# Technogym vs THE LAB

The clearest difference is review sentiment: THE LAB at 100% against Technogym's 31%. THE LAB also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Technogym's advantage is ratings volume (4.7K vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Technogym sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. THE LAB asks for nothing beyond the download.

THE LAB holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Technogym has 4.7K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of Technogym's written reviews are positive against 100% of THE LAB's.

Technogym ships an update fortnightly, THE LAB monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
