Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pengrun at Free against Levers's $0.99. Pengrun also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (100% vs 63%). Levers's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
