Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SoloPerformance at 100% against Polar Team's 30%. SoloPerformance also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Polar Team's advantage is ratings volume (294 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
