Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Progress at 4.8 against Goal Tracker Pro's 3.0. Progress also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and ratings volume (900 vs 2). Goal Tracker Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
