# Shortcut Run vs Type Runners

The clearest difference is rating: Shortcut Run at 4.6 against Type Runners's 2.3. Shortcut Run also leads on ratings volume (239K vs 3). Type Runners's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shortcut Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Type Runners asks for nothing beyond the download.

Shortcut Run holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shortcut Run has 239K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Shortcut Run's written reviews are positive against 50% of Type Runners's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
