# RunKit vs Sumyt

The clearest difference is ratings volume: RunKit at 53 against Sumyt's 1. RunKit also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Sumyt's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RunKit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Sumyt sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sumyt holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunKit has 53 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of RunKit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sumyt's.

RunKit ships an update fortnightly, Sumyt every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
