Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: STR8 Performance at 100% against YMCA LA's 5%. STR8 Performance also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). YMCA LA's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
