# Workout Distance vs RunKit

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Workout Distance at none against RunKit's 2. Workout Distance also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 87%). RunKit's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (53 vs 3). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RunKit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Workout Distance asks for nothing beyond the download.

Workout Distance holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunKit has 53 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Workout Distance's written reviews are positive against 87% of RunKit's.

Workout Distance ships an update every 3 months, RunKit fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
