Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BridgeAthletic at none against Shack Fit's 1. BridgeAthletic also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Shack Fit's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
