Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PhysiqueOS at none against HardCORE Fit's 8. PhysiqueOS also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 weeks). HardCORE Fit's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
