Main differences
- INTVL is played in many more countries and connects to watches and bike computers. It has an optional subscription; Flowtr is free with no ads.
- In INTVL, runs and rides are separate games. In Flowtr, running, walking and cycling share one map, with different weights in the global ranking.
- Flowtr was made in Lisbon and has Sentinels (virtual rivals) in zones of the city, so there is a contest even before other players run near you.
