Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hit Zero Cheer at 5.0 against Cheer Trainer's 4.0. Hit Zero Cheer also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Cheer Trainer's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
