# Running Slimkit vs Run Tracker App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Running Slimkit at 67% against Run Tracker App's 23%. Running Slimkit also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (87K vs 2). Run Tracker App's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Running Slimkit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Run Tracker App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Running Slimkit holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Running Slimkit has 87K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Running Slimkit's written reviews are positive against 23% of Run Tracker App's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
