# run zigzag vs SILT

The clearest difference is rating: SILT at 4.8 against run zigzag's 3.0. SILT also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 19 months). run zigzag's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SILT sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. run zigzag asks for nothing beyond the download.

SILT holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SILT has 3.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of run zigzag's written reviews are positive against 77% of SILT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

run zigzag ships an update every 19 months, SILT every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
