Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Transformini at none against Gym Buddy's shown. Transformini also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Gym Buddy's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
