# Swing vs Running Coach

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swing at none against Running Coach's 12. Swing also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Running Coach's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Running Coach sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Swing asks for nothing beyond the download.

Swing ships an update every 4 weeks, Running Coach every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
