The clearest difference is price: Swimz at Free against SUP Tracker's $1.99. Swimz also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 26.0). SUP Tracker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
