# RaceJoy vs RightRun

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RightRun at 100% against RaceJoy's 52%. RightRun also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). RaceJoy's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 11) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RaceJoy sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and RightRun sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RightRun holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RaceJoy has 1.6K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of RaceJoy's written reviews are positive against 100% of RightRun's.

RaceJoy ships an update every 2 months, RightRun fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
