# Running Fred vs Streaker Run

The clearest difference is rating: Running Fred at 4.5 against Streaker Run's 4.1. Running Fred also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 321) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Streaker Run's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Running Fred sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Streaker Run sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Running Fred holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Running Fred has 1.8K ratings behind it against 321, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Running Fred's written reviews are positive against 80% of Streaker Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Running Fred ships an update every 3 months, Streaker Run every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
