Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Beat Stride 2 at none against NatiaCares's 2. Beat Stride 2 also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 9 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). NatiaCares's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
