# Super Penguins vs Beach Running

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Super Penguins at 90% against Beach Running's 17%. Super Penguins also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 63 months). Beach Running's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Penguins has 3.9K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Super Penguins's written reviews are positive against 17% of Beach Running's.

Super Penguins ships an update every 2 months, Beach Running every 63 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
