Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Workout at none against Training Today's 4. Workout also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Training Today's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 30). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
