Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Walk Analytics at 100% against Tread Assist's 0%. Walk Analytics also leads on ads (none vs shown). Tread Assist's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
