Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Walking Challenge at none against FirstMove's 2. Walking Challenge also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). FirstMove's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
