Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Reflex at 4.8 against DogRun's 4.0. Reflex also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 15.6). DogRun's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 35 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
