Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Barre at 100% against Mindbody Check's 15%. Smart Barre also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.8) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). Mindbody Check's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (49 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
