Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UltraGym at none against Macros's 10. UltraGym also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Macros's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
