The call

The clearest difference is rating: MemberLink at 5.0 against RUN's 4.2. MemberLink also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). RUN's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (968 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
