Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 1Rider at none against CycleBar's 2. 1Rider also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). CycleBar's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (27K vs 38). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for CycleBar against 4.9 for 1Rider. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CycleBar has 27K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of CycleBar's written reviews are positive against 100% of 1Rider's.
