Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Galaxy Run at none against Salmon Sprint's 3. Galaxy Run also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Salmon Sprint's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
