The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Challenge Buddy at none against Chap's 7. Challenge Buddy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Chap's advantage is ratings volume (285 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
