A big thank you to my son and coding partner Christoph, whose board generator and many other great ideas contributed significantly to the app. And to my loyal Catan crew – Katrin, Martina, Stefan, Sophie, and Christoph – who always provided the first feedback. Thank you all!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SettlerStats at Free against RUNA's $1.99. RUNA's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.4). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
