Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Methods 3 at 5.0 against Atom Run's 3.9. Methods 3 also leads on update cadence (every 6 months vs every 17 months) and chart position (#185 vs unranked). Atom Run's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (47 vs 3). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
