Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Strength Matrix Training at none against BJJ Notes's 3. Strength Matrix Training also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). BJJ Notes's advantage is ratings volume (175 vs 5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
