Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Build & Shred at 5.0 against Burn + Build's 3.9. Build & Shred also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (100% vs 64%). Burn + Build's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
