Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Treadmill Trails at 84% against XF Connect's 14%. Treadmill Trails also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1K vs 89). XF Connect's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
