Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Gym High Bar at Free against DiveChamp's $0.99. Gym High Bar also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 84) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). DiveChamp's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.1). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
