Verdict

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Hydrolock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. InsideRide asks for nothing beyond the download.
InsideRide holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InsideRide has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of InsideRide's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hydrolock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
