# RunKit vs TrainWise

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TrainWise at none against RunKit's 2. TrainWise also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). RunKit's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RunKit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. TrainWise asks for nothing beyond the download.

TrainWise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunKit has 52 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

RunKit ships an update fortnightly, TrainWise every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
