# Runify vs Runco

The clearest difference is monetization model: Runify at free with in-app purchases against Runco's subscription. Runify also leads on ratings volume (245 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.1). Runco's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Runify sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Runco sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Runco holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Runify has 245 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of Runify's written reviews are positive against 100% of Runco's.
