Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Activity Map at 100% against Cadence Coach's 0%. Activity Map also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Cadence Coach's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Cadence Coach is free to download; Activity Map costs $0.99 up front. Activity Map sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cadence Coach sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cadence Coach holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Activity Map has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Activity Map's written reviews are positive against 0% of Cadence Coach's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Activity Map ships an update every 4 months, Cadence Coach every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
