Features: - Race Predictor: Will predict your potential on the most common race distances based on a given one. The automatic calculation uses a dynamic scale but we also made it possible to use your own (single Riegel factor) value. The default gives a realistic prediction, not assuming everyone is a trained high mileage athlete! - Training paces: Based on a (planned or recent) race performance, will calculate both the appropriate splits and paces for interval and tempo training - Track splits: Using GPS for track training is not great. This tool will convert a given pace to the target split of a full lap for each lane of a standard (IAAF) 400m track - Race Splits: Plan any race by breaking the distance and target race time down by kilometer or mile markers - Evaluate or plan a race by factoring in elevation, elevation gain/loss, temperature and humidity (dew point) - Convert any pace from minutes per mile to minutes per km and vice versa - Calculate the right speeds to set treadmills to, based on pace - Calculate age graded performance Works in both metric and imperial system.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: RunGap at every 2 weeks against Runner's Tools's every 38 months. RunGap also leads on ratings volume (5.9K vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Runner's Tools's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RunGap sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months and Runner's Tools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Runner's Tools holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunGap has 5.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of RunGap's written reviews are positive against 100% of Runner's Tools's.
RunGap ships an update every 2 weeks, Runner's Tools every 38 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
