Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SeaHours at 100% against RUN's 21%. SeaHours also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). RUN's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SeaHours holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RUN has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of RUN's written reviews are positive against 100% of SeaHours's.
