The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bar Athletes at none against Picks's 4. Bar Athletes also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Picks's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 3) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
