Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Glider Frequency at none against Rowing Stroke Rate Stopwatch's 2. Glider Frequency also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Rowing Stroke Rate Stopwatch's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 37 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
