Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Fitbod at 289K against EVOLUTION 3's 244. Fitbod also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#19 vs unranked). EVOLUTION 3's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
