# Wahoo vs runCLTrun

The clearest difference is review sentiment: runCLTrun at 100% against Wahoo's 43%. runCLTrun also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Wahoo's advantage is ratings volume (43K vs 11) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wahoo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and runCLTrun sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

runCLTrun holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wahoo has 43K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Wahoo's written reviews are positive against 100% of runCLTrun's.

Wahoo ships an update fortnightly, runCLTrun monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
