# ASICS Runkeeper vs RunKit

The clearest difference is ads: RunKit at none against ASICS Runkeeper's shown. RunKit also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 74%). ASICS Runkeeper's advantage is ratings volume (381K vs 53) 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 RunKit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 RunKit. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASICS Runkeeper has 381K ratings behind it against 53, 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 87% of RunKit's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
