Verdict
The clearest difference is price: First Choice PT at Free against CycleComputer Pro's $9.99. First Choice PT also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). CycleComputer Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (188 vs 5). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
