CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ArtTrails ships an update every 5 weeks, Runify fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
