Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Galaxy Run at none against Beach Buggy Blitz's shown. Galaxy Run also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Beach Buggy Blitz's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 67%) and ratings volume (921 vs 64). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
