Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Barre Studio at fortnightly against Townhouse's every 3 months. Barre Studio also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
