Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Runner at 94% against Arrow Tap's 22%. Runner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (556 vs 1). Arrow Tap's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 42) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Runner sells 42 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Arrow Tap asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Arrow Tap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Runner has 556 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Runner's written reviews are positive against 22% of Arrow Tap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Runner ships an update weekly, Arrow Tap fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
