Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Run Things at 5.0 against Women’s Running's 4.4. Run Things also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 14) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Women’s Running's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support 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. Women’s Running sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Run Things asks for nothing beyond the download.
Run Things holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Women’s Running has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Women’s Running's written reviews are positive against 100% of Run Things's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
