Collect badges on every run and walk. Loop a landmark like Big Ben and its badge is yours; close a loop anywhere and the ground inside is yours, until a clubmate takes it back. Treadline records your runs and walks — distance, pace, elevation gain and the route you took — puts everyone you know on the same board, and adds the year up into something you can actually look back on. Start it yourself, or let it start itself. Automatic tracking picks up sustained runs and everyday walks with your phone in your pocket, pauses at short stops, and ends the session when you are done.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stark at none against Treadline's 4. Stark also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Treadline's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 10 days). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
