Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HipHip Strength at 5.0 against Intensity's 4.6. Intensity's advantage is ratings volume (191 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Intensity sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and HipHip Strength sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HipHip Strength holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intensity has 191 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
