Ladder App Price: Plans, Monthly Cost & Price History

Ladder is a strength training app with coached programs. Its price depends on the tier you choose and whether you pay monthly or yearly. The app sells through its own site and through the App Store, and the two do not always show the same tiers.

The prices below are the published plan prices. Subscription prices change, so check the official pricing page or the App Store listing before you sign up.

On the Ladder website, the Pro plan costs $29.99/mo when you pay month to month. With annual billing, the same plan works out to $14.99/mo (monthly equivalent). Both figures come from Ladder.

The App Store lists higher tiers, according to Sensai. PRO+ is $34.99/mo, ELITE is $44.99/mo, and ELITE+ is $49.99/mo. Pick the lowest tier that includes what you need.

Paying once a year brings the cost down for the Pro plan. The Pro annual plan is $179.99/yr, which is where the lower monthly equivalent comes from.

The App Store tiers have annual options too. PRO+ costs $329.99/yr, ELITE costs $449.99/yr, and ELITE+ costs $479.99/yr. If you plan to train for the full year, the annual price is usually the better deal. If you are unsure, monthly billing lets you stop sooner and lose less money.

The right plan depends on how much coaching and personalization you want.

• Pro suits someone who wants structured programs at the lowest listed price.
• PRO+ is the next step up for people who want more from the app.
• ELITE and ELITE+ are the highest tiers and cost the most.

The features in each App Store tier are described on the app's listing, so read it before upgrading, since tiers can change.

Monthly billing at $29.99/mo adds up over a year. Annual billing at $179.99/yr is the better value for the Pro plan if you will use the app for twelve months. A short-term user can come out ahead on monthly billing by not paying for months they will not use.

The subscription is only part of what strength training costs. You may also need gym access or home equipment, and the app's programs assume you have something to train with. Sales tax may apply depending on where you live, and prices in other countries can differ from the US figures listed here.

Prices on the website and in the App Store can differ, since the App Store sets its own tiers and billing. The Pro plan figures come from the Ladder pricing page, and the higher tiers come from the App Store review cited above. Whichever route you use, you manage the subscription where you bought it. A subscription started in the App Store is canceled in your Apple account settings, and one started on the website is managed through Ladder.

Decide how many months you realistically plan to train, whether you need the lowest tier or a higher one, and whether you would rather pay through Apple or directly. Then compare the monthly and annual totals for that exact plan. Check the official pricing page on the day you sign up, because subscription prices and tier names can change without notice.

Cancel before your renewal date to avoid the next charge. Refund rules depend on where you bought the subscription, so read the terms on the Ladder site or Apple's policy before you pay. Do not assume you can get a refund for an unused period.
