Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: RUN interval at none against 5K Runmeter Run Walk Training's shown. RUN interval also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 56%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). 5K Runmeter Run Walk Training's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
