Welcome to the RENEW Advent Challenge You are warmly invited to join this pilgrimage of the soul starting on the 1st December and ending on Christmas day. Over this 25-day period, as a community, we will be committing to these four streams of ‘Physical Prayer’ that will re-posture our mind, body and spirit towards the significance of Christmas day: 1. Daily devotional reflection 2. Daily exercise using our 3 core movement patterns 3. Fasting something that we know isn’t good for us 4. Engaging in a daily generosity offering We believe that Jesus came into this world to give us ‘life in all its fullness’ and it’s our prayer that this Advent Pilgrimage will help you do that.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Renew Advent at none against Go&Rest's 1. Renew Advent also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Go&Rest's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
