Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RunningBeat at none against OneListen's 1. RunningBeat also leads on ads (none vs shown). OneListen's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
