Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Thrive at Free against My Run Stats's $1.99. Thrive also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 18 months) and rating (1.3 vs 1.0). My Run Stats's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 21) and review sentiment (40% vs 20%). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Thrive holds the better App Store score, 1.3 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of My Run Stats's written reviews are positive against 20% of Thrive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Run Stats ships an update every 18 months, Thrive every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
