Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Auto at none against Wahoo's 2. Auto also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Wahoo's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (43K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
