Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pilates Method at none against Equinox+'s 1. Pilates Method also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Equinox+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (43K vs 1). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
