Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Impossible Charge at none against Canvas Run's 1. Impossible Charge also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 29%). Canvas Run's advantage is ratings volume (33K vs 25) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Canvas Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Impossible Charge asks for nothing beyond the download.
Canvas Run holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canvas Run has 33K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Impossible Charge's written reviews are positive against 29% of Canvas Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Impossible Charge ships an update every 5 weeks, Canvas Run fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
