Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mobile Run at 75% against Puff Up's 37%. Puff Up's advantage is ratings volume (286K vs 835) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Puff Up sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Mobile Run sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Puff Up holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Puff Up has 286K ratings behind it against 835, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Puff Up's written reviews are positive against 75% of Mobile Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Puff Up ships an update fortnightly, Mobile Run every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
