Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GroupXConnect at none against Pure Barre's 2. GroupXConnect also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Pure Barre's advantage is ratings volume (42K vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
