Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: URunner at 4.1 against BEAT's 1.0. URunner also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 1). BEAT's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 71%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

URunner holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: URunner has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of BEAT's written reviews are positive against 71% of URunner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BEAT ships an update every 3 weeks, URunner every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
