The clearest difference is update cadence: YMCA BC at every 3 weeks against SFU Rec's every 5 months. YMCA BC also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 0%). SFU Rec's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
