Take your saved workouts to Apple Watch and train without carrying your phone. Follow your workout exercise by exercise, adjust weight, reps or duration, complete sets, and manage rest periods directly from your wrist. The core tracker is free and works offline. Create workouts, explore a library of more than 400 exercises, review session history, check weekly volume, view progress charts, adjust kg/lb and rest settings, and complete workouts without an account. Optionally save completed workouts to Apple Health so they appear in your activity history. If you sign in, optional sync can back up and restore your training data across devices.

The clearest difference is ads: Simple Muscle at none against MacroCoach Pro's shown. MacroCoach Pro's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
