Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Runify at 66% against ArtTrails's 0%. Runify also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (244 vs 1). ArtTrails's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ArtTrails sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Runify sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ArtTrails holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Runify has 244 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of ArtTrails's written reviews are positive against 66% of Runify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ArtTrails ships an update every 5 weeks, Runify fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
