# Stronger vs Runify

The clearest difference is update cadence: Stronger at every 3 days against Runify's every 3 weeks. Stronger also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 244) and chart position (#193 vs unranked). Runify's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 49%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stronger sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Runify sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Stronger against 4.8 for Runify. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stronger has 18K ratings behind it against 244, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of Stronger's written reviews are positive against 66% of Runify's.

Stronger ships an update every 3 days, Runify every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
