The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sweat DC at none against Strive's 10. Sweat DC also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0.0 vs 15.0). Strive's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 44 months) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Strive sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Sweat DC asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sweat DC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Strive has 3.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
