# running.COACH vs TrainerPlan

The clearest difference is review sentiment: running.COACH at 80% against TrainerPlan's 15%. TrainerPlan's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. running.COACH sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $16.99 per month and TrainerPlan sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TrainerPlan holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 19 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of running.COACH's written reviews are positive against 15% of TrainerPlan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

running.COACH ships an update every 2 weeks, TrainerPlan weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
