Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: This Is BACE at 100% against Equinox+'s 28%. This Is BACE also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Equinox+'s advantage is ratings volume (45K vs 22) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
