Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Idle Marathon at none against ATHROID2020's 9. Idle Marathon also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). ATHROID2020's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
