Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Villa Focus at none against Strides's 9. Villa Focus also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Strides's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
