Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: BioPocket at free with in-app purchases against Steady's subscription. BioPocket also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Steady's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
