Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Studio 8 at none against 7 Minute Workout's 10. Studio 8 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0.0 vs 18.0). 7 Minute Workout's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
