Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Climb Elev8 at none against Crimpd's 3. Climb Elev8 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Crimpd's advantage is ratings volume (100 vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
