# adidas Running vs Miles

The clearest difference is price: adidas Running at Free against Miles's $4.99. adidas Running also leads on ratings volume (108K vs 156). Miles's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (89% vs 56%). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

adidas Running is free to download; Miles costs $4.99 up front. adidas Running sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Miles sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. 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 adidas Running against 4.9 for Miles. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: adidas Running has 108K ratings behind it against 156, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of adidas Running's written reviews are positive against 89% of Miles's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
