Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BurnTheory at none against Run180's 2. BurnTheory also leads on ads (none vs shown). Run180's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
