Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lift Notes at none against The Gym Notes's 1. Lift Notes also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). The Gym Notes's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
