Four training days aren't a limitation. It's a choice — and a legitimate one. RunSmart is built by Steve Gonser, PT DPT, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, who started the platform after watching runners consistently get hurt doing what other apps told them to do. The goal here isn't to turn you into an elite athlete. It's to keep you running next year, and the year after that. HOW YOUR PLAN IS BUILT → Your current mileage, not a generic starting point → Your race date and goal, not a one-size schedule → PT-informed load progression that builds fitness without stacking risk WHAT'S IN YOUR PLAN → Running workouts with paces tied to your current fitness → Strength training built for runners, not the gym floor → Mobility work that addresses what runners actually tighten up → Run Club — share runs, see what your training community is doing 4.8 stars. Used by runners who've been hurt before and can't afford to be again. "What a great day! Thanks for keeping me running strong and injury-free!" - Tammy "I can’t say THANK YOU enough. The training plans and strength training has kept me injury free and running strong!" - Sheila "I followed it exactly as Steve has it written out and I’m happy to report I’ve been running a whole month now with no pain." - Charlotte Distances: 5K · 8K · 10K · Half Marathon · Full Marathon · Maintenance Integrations: Apple Watch · Garmin · COROS Free to start. No credit card. No expiry. Still running in year five. That's the point. Terms of Use: https://runsmartonline.com/terms-of-use/ Privacy Policy: https://runsmartonline.com/privacy-policy

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: EzGym at none against RunSmart's shown. EzGym also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). RunSmart's advantage is ratings volume (119 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RunSmart sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month and EzGym sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
EzGym holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunSmart has 119 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
RunSmart ships an update every 3 days, EzGym weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
