Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: StarCycle at 2.8K against So Toned's 5. StarCycle also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). So Toned's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for StarCycle against 5.0 for So Toned. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StarCycle has 2.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
