Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Goaltend at none against Progressive Workouts's 4. Goaltend also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). Progressive Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
