Verdict

The call

WORKIT and Routine both sit at 3.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 60% of WORKIT's written reviews are positive against 20% of Routine's. WORKIT also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Routine's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
