Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Studio PLY at 5.0 against Functional Bodybuilding's 2.8. Functional Bodybuilding's advantage is ratings volume (140 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
