# Destiny Run vs First To Life

Destiny Run and First To Life both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 60% of Destiny Run's written reviews are positive against 39% of First To Life's. Destiny Run also leads on ratings volume (195K vs 26K). First To Life's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Destiny Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and First To Life sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Destiny Run against 4.7 for First To Life. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Destiny Run has 195K ratings behind it against 26K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Destiny Run's written reviews are positive against 39% of First To Life's.

Destiny Run ships an update every 2 months, First To Life fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
