# ASICS Runkeeper vs Pace

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ASICS Runkeeper at 379K against Pace's 379. ASICS Runkeeper also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#142 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ASICS Runkeeper sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Pace sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 4.7 for Pace. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASICS Runkeeper has 379K ratings behind it against 379, 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 72% of Pace's.

ASICS Runkeeper ships an update every 2 weeks, Pace every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
