Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: M2 at none against XRunning's shown. M2 also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). XRunning's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (51 vs 8). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
