Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Run at 5.0 against RunMotion Coach's 4.7. Run also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). RunMotion Coach's advantage is ratings volume (72 vs 13). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. RunMotion Coach sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Run holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunMotion Coach has 72 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of RunMotion Coach's written reviews are positive against 100% of Run's.
RunMotion Coach ships an update fortnightly, Run every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
