Athletic.APP's advantage is ratings volume (278 vs 6) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Athletic.APP sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and RunRaceTrace sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
