Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Train at none against playus's 7. Train also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). playus's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
