# WorkoutSnap vs Run Story

The clearest difference is ads: WorkoutSnap at none against Run Story's shown. WorkoutSnap also leads on ratings volume (870 vs 25) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). Run Story's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (65% vs 41%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkoutSnap sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Run Story sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WorkoutSnap holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkoutSnap has 870 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of WorkoutSnap's written reviews are positive against 65% of Run Story's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WorkoutSnap ships an update every 2 months, Run Story fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
