# 5K Run vs Run/walk

The clearest difference is rating: 5K Run at 4.7 against Run/walk's 1.0. 5K Run also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 1). Run/walk's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 5K Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Run/walk asks for nothing beyond the download.

5K Run holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5K Run has 2.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
