Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RURec2Go at 100% against ChallengeRunner's 15%. RURec2Go also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). ChallengeRunner's advantage is ratings volume (8.7K vs 12) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
