Verdict

The call

RunMotion Coach and Trainr both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of Trainr's written reviews are positive against 78% of RunMotion Coach's. Trainr also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). RunMotion Coach's advantage is ratings volume (73 vs 7). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
