Verdict

The call

TrainingPeaks and Zepp both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 62% of TrainingPeaks's written reviews are positive against 46% of Zepp's. Zepp's advantage is ratings volume (82K vs 13K) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
