Verdict

Both are free to download. TMPM HQ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Protein Simple sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for TMPM HQ against 5.0 for Protein Simple. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TMPM HQ has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
