Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Program Suite at none against Catalyst Training's 12. The Program Suite also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Catalyst Training's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
