Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Peak Performance Gym at none against Row's shown. Peak Performance Gym also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Row's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
