Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Workouts at none against Health Year's 2. Workouts also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Health Year's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
