Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BridgeAthletic at 4.8 against ARMS Athlete's 3.0. BridgeAthletic also leads on ratings volume (3.4K vs 11) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). ARMS Athlete's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BridgeAthletic holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BridgeAthletic has 3.4K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of BridgeAthletic's written reviews are positive against 75% of ARMS Athlete's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BridgeAthletic ships an update every 3 weeks, ARMS Athlete every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
