Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Run Sheeda Run at none against Temple Run's shown. Run Sheeda Run also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 72%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Temple Run's advantage is ratings volume (420K vs 15) and chart position (#25 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
