Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Team Awesome at none against Running Fred's shown. Team Awesome also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Running Fred's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 206). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Running Fred sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Team Awesome sells 8 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 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Running Fred has 1.8K ratings behind it against 206, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Running Fred's written reviews are positive against 89% of Team Awesome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
