Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pvolve Studios at 1.8K against Smart Barre's 2. Pvolve Studios also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Smart Barre's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Smart Barre against 5.0 for Pvolve Studios. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pvolve Studios has 1.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Smart Barre's written reviews are positive against 83% of Pvolve Studios's.
Smart Barre ships an update every 2 months, Pvolve Studios every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
