Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Workout Tracker at weekly against Volym's every 6 weeks. Workout Tracker also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 1). Volym's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Volym sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Workout Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Volym against 5.0 for Workout Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Workout Tracker has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
