Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RunnerStretch for runner at none against Breathing Exercises's 6. RunnerStretch for runner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Breathing Exercises's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 31) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Breathing Exercises sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. RunnerStretch for runner asks for nothing beyond the download.
Breathing Exercises holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Breathing Exercises has 3.5K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of RunnerStretch for runner's written reviews are positive against 84% of Breathing Exercises's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RunnerStretch for runner ships an update weekly, Breathing Exercises monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
