TRACK EVERY RUN Record outdoor runs with GPS, run indoors with the pedometer, or connect a Bluetooth smart treadmill. See your pace, distance, time, cadence, and heart rate in real-time. Pair a Bluetooth heart rate monitor for live BPM and heart rate zone tracking. STRUCTURED WORKOUTS Build custom interval workouts with timed and distance-based steps. Create repeat groups for speed work and tempo runs. Schedule workouts for specific days and start them with one tap from your Home screen.

Plans cover 5K through Marathon with beginner, intermediate, and advanced volumes. Follow along week by week with daily workouts that appear on your dashboard. BUILD AND NAVIGATE COURSES Create routes by placing waypoints on the map or use auto-route to generate a loop from any starting point. Follow courses during your run with turn-by-turn navigation and off-course warnings. Download offline map tiles so your watch always has a map — even without cellular or Wi-Fi. Save, duplicate, and manage your favorite routes. DETAILED RUN ANALYSIS Every run gets a full breakdown: route map with pace-colored segments, pace and heart rate charts, elevation profile, split times, calorie estimate, and workout step tracking. Add notes, export to GPX, or share your results. STATISTICS THAT MATTER View your running data across custom time periods. Track personal bests for 1K, 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Runable at none against AI's shown. Runable also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
