Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Basic Gym at 95% against Workout Diary's 50%. Basic Gym also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (107 vs 2). Workout Diary's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
