Warmify vs Wakeout!: which app should you use?

Which is better, Warmify or Wakeout!?

Choose Wakeout if you want guided follow-along movement breaks at your desk, with an Apple Watch companion and a Chrome extension that brings breaks into your workday; choose Warmify if you want a short break that works as a game, with the phone camera counting each rep and XP for every rep. Wakeout offers guided breaks of 90 seconds to 3 minutes for desk workers, and its listings do not mention camera counting or form feedback. Warmify has Desk Detox and Seated Mode next to sport modes such as Football (soccer) and Runner's Prep, checks form 30 times a second on the device, and never uploads camera frames. Warmify needs room for the camera to see you, gives a limited number of free daily workouts and is a newer app. Neither app is medical advice.
