Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Athlete Ready at free against CogniBios's free with in-app purchases. CogniBios's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.5). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. CogniBios sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per month and Athlete Ready sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for CogniBios against 5.0 for Athlete Ready. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CogniBios has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
