Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Block Online at none against Wahoo's 2. The Block Online also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Wahoo's advantage is ratings volume (43K vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
