Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: The WOD Generator at none against WOD Machine's shown. The WOD Generator also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
