# ASICS Runkeeper vs TrainingPeaks

The clearest difference is ads: TrainingPeaks at none against ASICS Runkeeper's shown. ASICS Runkeeper's advantage is ratings volume (381K vs 13K) and review sentiment (74% vs 62%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ASICS Runkeeper sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and TrainingPeaks sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 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 TrainingPeaks. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASICS Runkeeper has 381K ratings behind it against 13K, 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 62% of TrainingPeaks's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
