# RunSmart vs 10W2S

The clearest difference is rating: RunSmart at 4.8 against 10W2S's 4.1. RunSmart also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (98% vs 85%). 10W2S's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RunSmart sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month and 10W2S sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RunSmart holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunSmart has 119 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 98% of RunSmart's written reviews are positive against 85% of 10W2S's.

RunSmart ships an update every 2 days, 10W2S fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
