Verdict
Boostcamp and XP Athletics both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of XP Athletics's written reviews are positive against 60% of Boostcamp's. XP Athletics also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Boostcamp's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 2) and chart position (#135 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
