Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Climbering Live at none against Crowd Runners's 1. Climbering Live also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Crowd Runners's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
