The clearest difference is ads: YakkaApp at none against The Training Lab's shown. YakkaApp also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). The Training Lab's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
