You know that feeling. You're watching an amazing movie, your drink kicks in, and you're stuck choosing between missing a key scene or suffering through the rest of the film. RunPee solves this. We tell you the best times to take a bathroom break during a movie — without missing anything important. RunPee is 100% free and supported entirely by donations from our community — no paywall. HOW IT WORKS Before the movie starts, look up your film in RunPee. You'll see a list of Peetimes, each carefully chosen by our expertly trained staff. Peetimes are scenes in a movie, usually 3-4 minutes long, that are easy to summarize without missing anything important, like a dramatic scene, or funny moment, or exciting action. Each Peetime includes: • When to go (a cue so you know exactly when it starts) • How long the bathroom break lasts • A short summary (hidden unless you tap) of what happened, so you don't have to ask anyone, "What did I miss?" Start the RunPee timer when the movie begins. The app will gently vibrate 30 seconds before each Peetime starts, so you're never caught off guard. ANYTHING EXTRA AFTER THE CREDITS? Wondering if there are post-credits scenes worth staying for? RunPee's "Anything Extra" feature tells you — without spoilers — whether there are mid-credit or end-credit scenes after the movie. No more sitting through 10 minutes of credits for nothing. PEETIMES FOR EVERY NEW RELEASE Our team watches every major release and hand-picks the best Peetimes. New movies are added weekly. We've covered over 1,900 movies and counting. DESIGNED FOR THE THEATER Dark theme, silent vibration alerts, minimal screen brightness. RunPee is designed to be invisible to everyone in the cinema except you. NOW IN 42 LANGUAGES Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and many more. Take RunPee to any movie theater in the world. TRUSTED BY MOVIEGOERS FOR 18+ YEARS RunPee was created by Dan Gardner, a moviegoer who had one too many badly-timed bathroom breaks. What started as a simple idea in 2008 has grown into the original movie bathroom break app, trusted by hundreds of thousands of movie fans worldwide.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RunPee at 4.7 against Posterama's 3.7. RunPee also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (479 vs 3). Posterama's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RunPee sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Posterama sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RunPee holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunPee has 479 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of RunPee's written reviews are positive against 100% of Posterama's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RunPee ships an update every 2 months, Posterama every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
