Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Barre Definition at Free against Walking Meditations's $1.99. Barre Definition also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and update cadence (monthly vs every 15 months). Walking Meditations's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (10.2 vs 15.1). On ads there is nothing between them.
