Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 乐跑RunForFun at none against 步道乐跑's shown. 乐跑RunForFun also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). 步道乐跑's advantage is ratings volume (173 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
