Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RunDNA at 83% against ActivForce's 17%. RunDNA also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). ActivForce's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
