The clearest difference is review sentiment: Running Journal at 100% against Activity Tracker・FitnessView's 51%. Running Journal also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Activity Tracker・FitnessView's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Activity Tracker・FitnessView sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Running Journal asks for nothing beyond the download.

Activity Tracker・FitnessView holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Activity Tracker・FitnessView has 7.9K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Activity Tracker・FitnessView's written reviews are positive against 100% of Running Journal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Activity Tracker・FitnessView ships an update weekly, Running Journal every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
