# Runervals vs HIIT

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Runervals at 100% against HIIT's 57%. Runervals also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). HIIT's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Runervals sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and HIIT sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Runervals holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HIIT has 34 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Runervals's written reviews are positive against 57% of HIIT's.

Runervals ships an update every 10 days, HIIT every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
