Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pace at 100% against RockMyRun's 55%. Pace also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). RockMyRun's advantage is ratings volume (8.4K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On price there is nothing between them.
