Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FitNotes at none against Boostcamp's shown. FitNotes also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Boostcamp's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and chart position (#157 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FitNotes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Boostcamp sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Boostcamp holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boostcamp has 11K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 59% and 60% positive.
