Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ProForma Sport at none against Start 2 Run's 10. ProForma Sport also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Start 2 Run's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
