# V.O2 vs Evolution Physical Therapy

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Evolution Physical Therapy at none against V.O2's 17. V.O2's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 15). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. V.O2 sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Evolution Physical Therapy asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for V.O2 against 5.0 for Evolution Physical Therapy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V.O2 has 6.3K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two.

V.O2 ships an update every 6 days, Evolution Physical Therapy every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
