Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: The A Zone at Free against My Running Tracker's $3.99. The A Zone also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.6). My Running Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
