The clearest difference is rating: OverLoad at 5.0 against Strongify's 4.5. OverLoad also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 72%). Strongify's advantage is ratings volume (280 vs 25). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Strongify sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and OverLoad sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
