Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: 5K Run at every 10 days against Run 5K's every 9 months. 5K Run also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 7). Run 5K's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
