The clearest difference is ads: Time Zero at none against Ghost Run's shown. Time Zero also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Ghost Run's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
