Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Elma App at none against Personal Training Diary's 1. Elma App also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). Personal Training Diary's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
