Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CycleBar at 67% against Club Studio's 14%. CycleBar also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (27K vs 63). Club Studio's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
