# ASICS Runkeeper vs Running Dashboard

The clearest difference is rating: ASICS Runkeeper at 4.8 against Running Dashboard's 4.2. ASICS Runkeeper also leads on ratings volume (381K vs 17) and chart position (#153 vs unranked). Running Dashboard's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, 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 Running Dashboard sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ASICS Runkeeper holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASICS Runkeeper has 381K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of ASICS Runkeeper's written reviews are positive against 78% of Running Dashboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
