Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Will Hero at 6K against Spooky Runner's 87. Will Hero also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Spooky Runner's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
