Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chris Downing at 5.0 against OptimalFit's 3.4. Chris Downing also leads on device support (5 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). OptimalFit's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
