Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MATRIX PowerWatch at 2.0 against EGYM Event's 1.0. MATRIX PowerWatch also leads on ratings volume (119 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). EGYM Event's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
