I've been using this app for a few months now... It certainly does have the right sort of motivation to get me to the gym. It's not about getting rich, it's about not losing money.
The business model is genius, the app works well & the team is super responsive.
So happy to post @PactApp here!
@gekitz yes, there is a real money transfer. We pay out rewards through PayPal when users request them.

What bothers me just a bit is wondering how up-to-date the software/site is if their testimonials refer 2013 and their footer says 2013 as well. Makes me feel as if those community stats are not entirely accurate either...
@pablosmith_ That's a great question, and nice spotting.... The app is definitely kept up to date, and I know the few minor issues I've had have been resolved within as little as 15 minutes.
@pablosmith_ Thanks for pointing that out - updating those now :). The stats at this point are 11.8 M workouts, 4.6 M Food Logs, and 6.2 M Veggies. We focus most of our energy updating the iOS and Android apps, so those are consistently more updated than the website.

Great idea, i was wondering where the money would come from. But this is pretty smart.

Really awesome product. I've been using it since Sept and I haven't missed a week since.
It's not really about making money, it's about not losing it. Pact is really good about changing your mindset. Before if I'd have a busy week, I'd be too lazy to go to the gym. Pact has gotten me better about doing what I can do, and trying to squeeze in working out when I would've otherwise said "fuck it."
If you know the upcoming week will be impossible, it's very easy to plan ahead. But with pact, theres no giving up on your commitment halfway through the week.

I've been on it for well over a year and have only seen it down one time. I've made close to $100 so far and of that have cashed in $50 - very easy. Love the app and highly recommend it.
I used Pact for half a year. It was lackluster. I hated having to do exactly the time specified, sometimes it was glitchy, sometimes workouts wouldn't count. In the end just not that motivating for me. But if you are looking for some workout motivation, give it a try.
