# Running Tracker App vs Running App

The clearest difference is monetization model: Running Tracker App at freemium against Running App's subscription. Running Tracker App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Running Tracker App sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Running App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Running Tracker App against 4.9 for Running App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Running Tracker App has 6.4K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Running Tracker App's written reviews are positive against 62% of Running App's.

Running Tracker App ships an update fortnightly, Running App every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
