Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: progressive overloading at none against Liftzr's 2. progressive overloading also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Liftzr's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
