Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: FitDIY at free against MacroFactor Workouts's subscription. FitDIY also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 10 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). MacroFactor Workouts's advantage is ratings volume (4.6K vs 1) and chart position (#118 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
