Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gym Rank at 84% against Level Up's 22%. Gym Rank also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Level Up's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
