Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Blaze at Free against Strength Coach's $0.99. Blaze also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 7 months). Strength Coach's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
