Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Canvas Run at 4.5 against Black Room's 3.0. Canvas Run also leads on review sentiment (29% vs 0%) and ratings volume (33K vs 3). Black Room's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
