Both are free to download. Stack Rider sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Rails Run asks for nothing beyond the download.
Stack Rider holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stack Rider has 756 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Stack Rider's written reviews are positive against 100% of Rails Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stack Rider ships an update every 2 weeks, Rails Run daily. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
