Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Xhale at none against RunMotion Coach's 3. Xhale also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). RunMotion Coach's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
