Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Powers Pilates at none against Pure Barre's 2. Powers Pilates also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Pure Barre's advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 16) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
