Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: LiveRun at none against RestOrTrain's shown. LiveRun also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). RestOrTrain's advantage is ratings volume (660 vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
