Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Strive at 4.8 against The Biggest Loser's 3.7. Strive also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.1). The Biggest Loser's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
