Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Movesense Showcase at none against Pushover Notifications's 3. Movesense Showcase also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Pushover Notifications's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
