The clearest difference is rating: Besst Workouts at 5.0 against Workout Buddy's 3.0. Besst Workouts also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1). Workout Buddy's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
