Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ESST at none against Runify's 15. ESST also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Runify's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (244 vs 10). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
