Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: GymSplat at none against HardLab's shown. GymSplat also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (130 vs 3). HardLab's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
