Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Peak Strength at 4.8 against Burn + Build's 3.9. Peak Strength also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 60) and review sentiment (72% vs 64%). Burn + Build's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
