Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Boost Studios at none against Strava's 10. Boost Studios also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Strava's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
