Verdict

The call

Polar Flow and Technogym both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of Polar Flow's written reviews are positive against 31% of Technogym's. Polar Flow also leads on ratings volume (50K vs 4.8K). Technogym's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
