Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GymBook at Free against Biking Beacn Pro's $4.99. GymBook also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Biking Beacn Pro's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
