Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PowerDot at none against Strength Rank's 1. PowerDot also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (33K vs 1). Strength Rank's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Strength Rank sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. PowerDot asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for PowerDot against 5.0 for Strength Rank. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PowerDot has 33K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
PowerDot ships an update every 2 months, Strength Rank every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
