# Running Slimkit vs Runbit

The clearest difference is rating: Running Slimkit at 4.6 against Runbit's 4.0. Running Slimkit also leads on ratings volume (87K vs 3). Runbit's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, 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 Runbit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Running Slimkit holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Running Slimkit has 87K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Running Slimkit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Runbit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Running Slimkit ships an update fortnightly, Runbit every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
