Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ABC Runner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Join Numbers sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Join Numbers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22K and 19K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of ABC Runner's written reviews are positive against 41% of Join Numbers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ABC Runner ships an update every 9 days, Join Numbers every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 1, 2026.
