# Predice vs Populus Run

The clearest difference is rating: Populus Run at 4.7 against Predice's 2.0. Populus Run also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Predice sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Populus Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Populus Run holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Populus Run has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Predice ships an update every 6 weeks, Populus Run every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
