Verdict
Iron Force and Tread Shred both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Tread Shred's written reviews are positive against 52% of Iron Force's. Tread Shred also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11). Iron Force's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
