# ASICS Runkeeper vs Runervals

The clearest difference is ads: Runervals at none against ASICS Runkeeper's shown. Runervals also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ASICS Runkeeper's advantage is ratings volume (380K vs 1) and chart position (#133 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ASICS Runkeeper sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Runervals sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Runervals holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASICS Runkeeper has 380K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of ASICS Runkeeper's written reviews are positive against 100% of Runervals's.

ASICS Runkeeper ships an update fortnightly, Runervals every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
