Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LiftRun at 100% against Nextrainers's 25%. LiftRun also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks). Nextrainers's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
