Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pedal Speed Machine at free with in-app purchases against Running App's subscription. Pedal Speed Machine also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Running App's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Pedal Speed Machine sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Running App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Running App holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Running App has 1.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Pedal Speed Machine's written reviews are positive against 62% of Running App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pedal Speed Machine ships an update every 10 months, Running App every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
