Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ZEBROID at none against Kickboard Run's 2. ZEBROID also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). Kickboard Run's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
