Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MARCHON TRAINING at 4.8 against Mobility Manual's 3.0. MARCHON TRAINING also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 38%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Mobility Manual's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobility Manual sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $18.99 per month and MARCHON TRAINING sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
