Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CharKeeper at Free against RUNA's $1.99. CharKeeper also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). RUNA's advantage is ratings volume (120 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
