Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: JustGains at freemium against MacroFactor Workouts's subscription. JustGains also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (4.6K vs 26) and chart position (#117 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
