Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Runmore at 72% against 5K Run's 24%. Runmore also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). 5K Run's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 12). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. 5K Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Runmore asks for nothing beyond the download.
5K Run holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5K Run has 2.2K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of 5K Run's written reviews are positive against 72% of Runmore's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
5K Run ships an update every 10 days, Runmore every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
