Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: RunGap at 5.9K against RetroReps's 3. RunGap also leads on device support (3 vs 1). RetroReps's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
