Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Runify at none against FitScribe's shown. Runify also leads on ratings volume (244 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). FitScribe's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
