Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DogRun at 100% against 1D Arcade's 50%. DogRun also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). 1D Arcade's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 1D Arcade sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. DogRun asks for nothing beyond the download.
1D Arcade holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of 1D Arcade's written reviews are positive against 100% of DogRun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
1D Arcade ships an update every 9 months, DogRun every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
