Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mega Run at 79% against RED ROBOT's 33%. Mega Run also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 13 months). RED ROBOT's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
