# IB.Fit vs Challenge Run

The clearest difference is ads: IB.Fit at none against Challenge Run's shown. IB.Fit also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 1). Challenge Run's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IB.Fit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Challenge Run sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Challenge Run holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IB.Fit has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of IB.Fit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Challenge Run's.

IB.Fit ships an update every 5 months, Challenge Run fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
