# Running App vs MyWatch+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Running App at 62% against MyWatch+'s 10%. Running App also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 23). MyWatch+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Running App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. MyWatch+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Running App holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Running App has 1.1K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Running App's written reviews are positive against 10% of MyWatch+'s.

Running App ships an update every 3 months, MyWatch+ every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
