Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Red5 Performance at none against CompTrain's 6. Red5 Performance also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (4 vs 2). CompTrain's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (46 vs 5). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
