# ASICS Runkeeper vs Wahoo

The clearest difference is ads: Wahoo at none against ASICS Runkeeper's shown. ASICS Runkeeper's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 42%) and chart position (#146 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence 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 Wahoo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 4.7 for Wahoo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASICS Runkeeper has 379K ratings behind it against 43K, 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 42% of Wahoo's.

ASICS Runkeeper ships an update every 2 weeks, Wahoo fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
