Friendly Competitions's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown).

Both are free to download. Friendly Competitions sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and BodyState sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
