The clearest difference is review sentiment: Plank Challenge at 69% against BBTracker's 9%. Plank Challenge also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (468 vs 3). BBTracker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plank Challenge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BBTracker asks for nothing beyond the download.
