Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Workout Planner at none against GUDMUD's shown. Workout Planner also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days). GUDMUD's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
