Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Patterns at none against Cardio Dance Workout's shown. Patterns also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 20 months). Cardio Dance Workout's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 27.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
