Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nifty Ninja at none against Ghost Running's shown. Nifty Ninja also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Ghost Running's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 21 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
