Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Break the cable at none against Wacky Run's shown. Break the cable also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). Wacky Run's advantage is review sentiment (41% vs 15%) and ratings volume (59K vs 109). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
