Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Progressions Magazine at none against IFW's 1. Progressions Magazine also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). IFW's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 19 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
