Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Flux at freemium against MacroFactor Workouts's subscription. Flux also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (4.6K vs 1) and chart position (#135 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
