Is a folding pad better than a slim one?

Only if you actually need it gone. A folding hinge is one more mechanical part; a slim non-folding deck is simpler but permanently takes floor space.

Is the Strollmate deck too short?

At 39.4 inches it suits average and shorter strides. Above roughly 5'10", the C2's 47.2-inch deck is the safer choice.

Which is better for a shared apartment?

The C2 folds away, so it wins in a shared living room. The Strollmate is better under a permanent desk setup.

Do either have incline?

Neither. Both are fixed-deck pads. For built-in incline you need the Egofit Walker Pro.

Head-to-head

WalkingPad C2 vs UREVO Strollmate: folding or ultra-slim?

These two solve storage in opposite ways. The C2 folds in half and goes in a closet. The Strollmate never folds — it is under four inches tall and slides under a sofa as-is.

The C2 gives you almost eight extra inches of deck (47.2" vs 39.4"). The Strollmate answers with a higher stated capacity, 265 lb against 220 lb, at the lowest price band on this site.
