Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gym Log at none against Boostcamp's 24. Gym Log also leads on ads (none vs shown). Boostcamp's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
