# ASICS Runkeeper vs Map My Tracks

The clearest difference is ads: Map My Tracks at none against ASICS Runkeeper's shown. Map My Tracks also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). ASICS Runkeeper's advantage is ratings volume (379K vs 332) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ASICS Runkeeper sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Map My Tracks sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ASICS Runkeeper holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASICS Runkeeper has 379K ratings behind it against 332, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of ASICS Runkeeper's written reviews are positive against 89% of Map My Tracks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ASICS Runkeeper ships an update every 2 weeks, Map My Tracks every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
