# RunDot vs MaxMile

The clearest difference is rating: MaxMile at 4.7 against RunDot's 4.2. MaxMile also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). RunDot's advantage is ratings volume (32 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RunDot sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month and MaxMile sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MaxMile holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunDot has 32 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of RunDot's written reviews are positive against 100% of MaxMile's.

RunDot ships an update every 2 weeks, MaxMile every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
