Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Athla at none against RM Play's 1. Athla also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). RM Play's advantage is ratings volume (297 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Athla holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RM Play has 297 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
