Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Workout Distance at none against PaceLog Run's 1. Workout Distance also leads on ads (none vs shown). PaceLog Run's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
