Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PhysicalMind Studio at none against Saran Pilates's 8. PhysicalMind Studio also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Saran Pilates's advantage is ratings volume (145 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
