Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: XPStrength at none against Gym Rank's 8. XPStrength also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Gym Rank's advantage is ratings volume (171 vs 7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

XPStrength holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Gym Rank's written reviews are positive against 100% of XPStrength's.
