Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: THE LAB at 100% against Technogym's 31%. THE LAB also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Technogym's advantage is ratings volume (4.7K vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
