Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: walk.App at none against GPS Workout Tracker's shown. walk.App also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (79% vs 70%). GPS Workout Tracker's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
