Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MacroForge at none against Protein Tracker's 1. MacroForge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 6 days). Protein Tracker's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
