The clearest difference is rating: Overrun at 4.6 against Final Outpost's 4.0. Overrun also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 1.9K) and review sentiment (76% vs 67%). Final Outpost's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
