Who should use which
Vora is the right call if you already own a wearable, live on iPhone, and want an all-in-one quantified-self dashboard with voice coaching. Threwline is the right call if you don't want another app, don't own a wearable, or care more about sustained coaching than feature breadth. We're the text-native alternative; they're the app-native alternative.
