Understanding anything about it so the type of exercise to do really suits you.
First the competition and format to use can be thing that differences both of them with Hyrox always comes with consistent form and the event is always same.
That simply means Hyrox is easier to prepare by any participants.
Meanwhile CrossFit can be more varied with "workout of day" that can be changed for every process. No exact pattern that will make your training be in more variation.
In this term see that Hyrox is more structured and consistent while CrossFit can be more dynamic and more surprise.

Endurance is so important with Hyrox since you must beat eight kilometers in total, thus you need to manage the stamina.
While CrossFit have certain type of training that combines skill, endurance, power and strength.
So yes CrossFit tends to look more complex in term of skill while in other hand, Hyrox can show the more focus especially in term of performance and consistency.

The progress is clear and see it clear enough too, when you need to run from start to finish, which is same from one event to another.
Now it's harder to measure what you do with CrossFit since no exact thing you have to measure it.
However in general the progress can be seen from time you finish or the increase of weight you can lift.
