Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sparko at 5.0 against Walking Distance Tracker's 4.5. Walking Distance Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Walking Distance Tracker sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Sparko sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
