Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Roots Cycle at 5.0 against MyBaystate's 2.5. Roots Cycle also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). MyBaystate's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
