Foil Run helps riders capture GPS tracks from wingfoil, downwind, kite, and paddle sessions, then analyze the ride in a private Foil Run account. Start a recording on iPhone or Apple Watch, choose your apparatus, and save the session locally. When you are signed in, completed recordings can upload to Foil Run so the web analysis cockpit can estimate wind, split climbs and runs, and show performance metrics such as speed, angles, and VMG. The Apple Watch recorder starts a workout only while you are actively recording. It uses the workout session to keep GPS and live heart rate available with the wrist down, mirrors live state to the paired iPhone when available, then discards the Health workout when recording ends.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Foil Run at fortnightly against Snownometer's every 59 months. Snownometer's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
