Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: The Bar Method at every 3 weeks against NXT4 Life Training's every 4 months. The Bar Method also leads on ratings volume (8.9K vs 125). NXT4 Life Training's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
