# PK XD Runner vs Edmus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Edmus at 100% against PK XD Runner's 67%. Edmus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). PK XD Runner's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PK XD Runner sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Edmus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Edmus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PK XD Runner has 2.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of PK XD Runner's written reviews are positive against 100% of Edmus's.

PK XD Runner ships an update every 4 days, Edmus every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
