# RunSmart vs RunThink

The clearest difference is ads: RunThink at none against RunSmart's shown. RunThink also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). RunSmart's advantage is ratings volume (117 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price, review sentiment, 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 RunThink sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RunThink holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunSmart has 117 ratings behind it against 2, 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 100% of RunThink's.

RunSmart ships an update every 2 days, RunThink every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
