Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Canvas Run at 4.5 against HexaRun's 4.0. Canvas Run also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). HexaRun's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (50% vs 29%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Canvas Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. HexaRun asks for nothing beyond the download.
Canvas Run holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canvas Run has 33K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of HexaRun's written reviews are positive against 29% of Canvas Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HexaRun ships an update every 2 months, Canvas Run fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
