# ASICS Runkeeper vs FitFile

The clearest difference is ads: FitFile at none against ASICS Runkeeper's shown. FitFile also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). ASICS Runkeeper's advantage is ratings volume (379K vs 62) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ASICS Runkeeper sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and FitFile sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 ASICS Runkeeper against 4.8 for FitFile. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASICS Runkeeper has 379K ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of ASICS Runkeeper's written reviews are positive against 78% of FitFile's.

ASICS Runkeeper ships an update every 2 weeks, FitFile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
