The AccuRun Virtual Race Assistant allows users to register for available races, create an account, participate in races and review the race leaderboard. In order to track running progress, the AccuRun app requires that user's Location Services and Notifications be authorized. While this does require more battery power during a race, location services are turned off when not in a virtual race. Depending on the level of verification required by the race organizer, additional sensors may be used to validate the runner's activity using steps, heart rate, etc. throughout the race. Click an available race enrollment link to register for a virtually-enabled race. NOTE: This app requires an Internet connection

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AccuRun at none against StepJoy's shown. StepJoy's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
