PureRun

PureRun is a focused running tracker built around one simple idea: start the run, read the essentials, and keep your data on your device. During a run, PureRun shows only what matters: • A clear distance hero, elapsed time, and average pace • One obvious pause action • Kilometers or miles • Spoken distance cues with a selectable system voice • Continued recording while the screen is locked or another app is open • Motion-based distance fallback when GPS is weak After a run, you can: • Review the route with start, finish, and a continuous speed gradient • Replay the real speed rhythm in full screen with kilometer or mile markers • Read per-kilometer split times • Save or discard the unsaved run • Browse a calendar-based training log • Explore day, week, and month distance, duration, run-count, and pace trends • See best pace, longest run, and strongest day and week • Export an individual run as a standard GPX file Privacy is part of the product: • No account, login, or cloud sync • No ads, analytics, or third-party tracking SDKs • No in-app purchases or subscriptions • Routes and settings stay on this device • PureRun does not automatically send location or fitness data to the developer; Apple MapKit supplies maps, and exports or support email occur only when you initiate them PureRun supports English and Simplified Chinese, light and dark appearance, and standard, hybrid, and satellite maps.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PureRun at none against RunEasy's 3. PureRun also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). RunEasy's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
