Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Poop Tracker at 54% against Gut diary's 17%. Poop Tracker also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (63 vs 2). Gut diary's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
