Verdict

The call

Dig Deep and Lifting Hero both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Dig Deep's written reviews are positive against 40% of Lifting Hero's. Dig Deep also leads on iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). Lifting Hero's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#189 vs unranked). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
