Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Relay Weekend at none against Outside's 17. Relay Weekend also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 6 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Outside's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
