[CURRENT_MONTH_YEAR] Top 5 Best Kegel Apps for Men
We tested every major kegel app for men and compared them on what actually matters: are the exercises based on real research, do they include the full range of exercises you need, is the pricing honest, and what do real users say?
Here's how they stack up.
How We Ranked Them
Every app was scored on five factors:
- Clinical evidence - Are the exercises based on named, peer-reviewed studies with real citations? Or vague "designed by experts" claims?
- Exercise completeness - Does the app teach reverse kegels? Clinical research shows these are critical for ejaculatory control, yet most apps skip them entirely.
- Goal-specific training - Does the app actually change the workout based on your goal (PE vs ED vs bladder control)? Or does everyone get the same generic timer?
- Pricing honesty - Are prices clear? Any hidden upsells, introductory rates that increase, or confusing tier structures?
- Real user experience - What do App Store reviews actually say? We analyzed hundreds of reviews for each app.
1. Kegel King - Best Overall
What it is: A men's pelvic floor training app built directly from peer-reviewed clinical research, with goal-specific programs for premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, bladder control, and post-surgical recovery.
Clinical evidence: Cites specific peer-reviewed studies by author name and year - Dorey et al. (2005, BJU International), Pastore et al. (2014, Therapeutic Advances in Urology), Ben Ami et al. (2022). These are independently published studies, not app-funded surveys.
Exercises: Includes standard kegels, reverse kegels, pulses, and alternating contractions from Day 1. Reverse kegels are available immediately - not gated behind weeks of progress. This matters because the research (Pastore et al.) specifically identified pelvic floor relaxation as the key mechanism for ejaculatory control.
Goal-specific training: The actual exercise ratios, hold times, and rest periods change based on your selected goal. PE training emphasizes reverse kegels. ED training emphasizes sustained holds. This isn't cosmetic personalization - it's protocol-level adaptation based on what each study found works for each condition.
Pricing:
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Weekly | $4.99/week |
| Annual | $49.99/year |
| Free trial | 7 days, no credit card required |
Two options. No hidden tiers. No introductory pricing that increases later. The free trial is fully featured with no credit card - you can evaluate everything before deciding.
Pros:
- Strongest clinical evidence of any app in this category (named studies, full citations)
- Reverse kegels available from Day 1, not gated
- Goal-specific protocols that actually change the training, not just labels
- Haptic feedback guides every rep - you can train eyes-free
- 25-level progression system that gets harder as you improve
- Transparent, simple pricing
- 7-day free trial with no credit card
- Works with your phone locked - train from your lock screen without opening the app
- Works offline - no Wi-Fi or data connection needed
Cons:
- Newer app with fewer total ratings than established competitors
- No Apple Watch support yet
- No audio/voice coaching (haptic-guided only)
Bottom line: The strongest clinical foundation in the category, with the most complete exercise coverage and the most honest pricing. If you want evidence-based training that actually adapts to your specific goal, this is the one.
Rating: 9.5/10

Try Kegel King Free2. Dr. Kegel - Most Content, Complicated Pricing
What it is: The most established men's kegel app with an extensive content library that goes well beyond exercises - including meditations, stretching routines, educational articles, and lifestyle challenges.
Clinical evidence: Displays journal logos (BJU International, Sexual Medicine Reviews) but without author names or publication years. Uses an animated bar chart claiming "84% improved erection, 67% improved orgasm, 73% improved stamina" but labels the data as "Survey Data*" - their own survey, not an independent peer-reviewed study. Tutorial videos use compensated actors with a disclaimer.
Exercises: Includes kegels and reverse kegels, but reverse kegels are gated behind Level 3 - approximately 21 days of use. For men whose primary goal is premature ejaculation, the most clinically important exercise is locked for three weeks.
Goal-specific training: Offers goal selection during onboarding with programs for different conditions.
Pricing:
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Weekly | ~$4.99-$9.99 (varies) |
| Monthly | $19.99 |
| Annual | $59.99 |
| Free trial | Varies (7 days, 30 days, or none depending on acquisition channel) |
This is where it gets complicated. Users have reported as many as 32 different subscription tier options. Some users report introductory pricing ($15/month) that increases to $31 after the first month. Others report being charged $97 for an annual plan that was presented as $2/week. Whether you get a free trial at all depends on how you found the app. Recent Google Play reviews report an additional $20 "personalized plan" upsell mid-app and a $150 one-time charge appearing after download.
Pros:
- Largest content library (80+ articles, meditations, stretching routines)
- Most established app with 40,000+ ratings
- Includes reverse kegels (eventually)
- Broad coverage of men's health topics beyond pelvic floor
Cons:
- Pricing complexity generates 46% of all negative reviews (330+ complaints about billing)
- Reverse kegels gated behind Level 3 (~21 days)
- Clinical claims use their own survey data, not independent peer-reviewed studies
- Some content feels like filler (food history articles, lifestyle challenges unrelated to pelvic floor)
- Reports of hidden upsells and surprise charges on Google Play
Bottom line: The most content-rich app in the category with a proven track record. The exercise library and meditation content are genuinely valuable. However, the pricing complexity and billing complaints are a serious concern, and gating reverse kegels behind three weeks of progress delays the most important exercise for PE users.
Rating: 7/10
3. Stamena - Simplest Approach
What it is: A clean, minimal kegel timer focused on simplicity over features.
Clinical evidence: Minimal clinical claims. Positioned as a training tool rather than an evidence-based program.
Exercises: Basic kegel contractions with a timer interface. Limited reverse kegel support. No alternating contractions or pulses.
Goal-specific training: Not a primary feature. One general program for all users.
Pricing:
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Weekly | $7.99/week |
| Annual | $79.99/year |
The highest annual price of any kegel-focused app in this comparison - $20+ more than Dr. Kegel and $30 more than Kegel King.
Pros:
- Clean, distraction-free interface
- Easy to understand - no learning curve
- Good for users who already know proper kegel technique
Cons:
- Limited exercise variety (mostly basic kegel contractions)
- No reverse kegels as a primary feature
- Highest annual pricing in this category
- No clinical evidence cited
- Not ideal for beginners who need guidance on proper technique
Bottom line: A functional timer for men who already know what they're doing and just want something minimal. Not recommended for beginners or anyone working on a specific clinical goal like PE or ED.
Rating: 5.5/10
4. Mojo - Different Category Entirely
What it is: A therapy and coaching platform focused on performance anxiety, sexual confidence, and the psychological side of sexual dysfunction. Not an exercise trainer.
Clinical evidence: Built around therapy principles and educational content rather than pelvic floor exercise protocols. Different approach, different evidence base.
Exercises: Not the primary focus. Mojo offers guided courses, meditations, and educational content about sexual wellbeing. Not comparable to exercise-focused kegel apps.
Goal-specific training: Yes - courses are organized by concern (performance anxiety, ED, PE, desire). But the training is psychological/educational, not physical exercise.
Pricing:
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Quarterly | $69.90 (~$23.30/month) |
| Annual | ~$280/year |
Significantly more expensive than exercise-focused apps, reflecting the therapy/coaching positioning.
Pros:
- Addresses the psychological side that exercise-only apps ignore entirely
- High-quality educational content and courses
- Good for performance anxiety specifically
- Can complement a physical training app rather than replace one
Cons:
- Not a pelvic floor exercise app - different category
- Most expensive option by far (~$280/year)
- Won't help with the physical muscle training side
Bottom line: Excellent for men dealing primarily with performance anxiety or who want a therapy-style approach to sexual confidence. Not a substitute for pelvic floor exercise training - more of a complement. If anxiety is your primary issue, Mojo is worth considering alongside a physical training app.
Rating: 7/10 (for its specific category)
5. Kegel Exercises & Men Trainer - Budget Option
What it is: A basic kegel exercise app with an ad-supported free tier.
Clinical evidence: Generic exercise descriptions without named study citations.
Exercises: Basic timer and rep counter. Limited progression system. No reverse kegels in the core program.
Goal-specific training: Not available. One general program for all users.
Pricing:
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Free | Ad-supported |
| Weekly | Varies |
| Annual | Varies |
The lowest cost option, but the ad experience is a significant drawback according to user reviews.
Pros:
- Free to use (ad-supported)
- Functional basic timer
- Good for someone who just wants to try kegels before committing to a paid app
Cons:
- Excessive ads reported by multiple users
- No clinical evidence behind the exercises
- No reverse kegels
- No guided progression
- Not suitable for beginners who need technique instruction
Bottom line: A functional free option for men who already know kegel technique and just need a basic timer. Not recommended for anyone seeking guided, evidence-based training.
Rating: 4/10

Our Recommendation
For most men looking for a kegel training app, Kegel King offers the strongest combination of clinical evidence, complete exercise coverage including reverse kegels from Day 1, goal-specific protocols that actually change the training, transparent pricing, and haptic-guided workouts. The 7-day free trial requires no credit card.
If your primary concern is performance anxiety rather than physical training, consider Mojo as a complement to a physical exercise app.
If you want the most content and don't mind navigating complex pricing, Dr. Kegel has the largest library but check your billing carefully.
