Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Progression at 4.5 against StrengthBot's 3.8. Progression also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (160 vs 4). StrengthBot's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
