Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Stride at freemium against Gym Log & Rep Count's subscription. Stride also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Gym Log & Rep Count's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and ratings volume (31 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
