Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Running Mate at free with in-app purchases against Walk Analytics's subscription. Running Mate also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Walk Analytics's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 29 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
