# Atatat vs RUN

The clearest difference is rating: RUN at 4.3 against Atatat's 1.6. RUN also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 72). Atatat's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (44% vs 21%). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

RUN holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RUN has 1.2K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Atatat's written reviews are positive against 21% of RUN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Atatat ships an update monthly, RUN every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
