Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: YMCA San Diego at every 2 months against SDTRC's every 7 months. YMCA San Diego also leads on rating (2.3 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (43 vs 3). SDTRC's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
