Both are free to download. Crowd Runners sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Horde Baloon asks for nothing beyond the download.
Crowd Runners holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crowd Runners has 1.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Crowd Runners's written reviews are positive against 50% of Horde Baloon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
