Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Metric Mate at free with in-app purchases against MacroFactor Workouts's subscription. Metric Mate also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
