Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Workout at none against Activity Plus's 4. Workout also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Activity Plus's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (2K vs 30). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
