Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vi Training at none against Workout Buddy's 3. Vi Training also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Workout Buddy's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
