Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FingerPlay at none against Temple Run's 5. FingerPlay also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Temple Run's advantage is chart position (#31 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
