Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RunBeat at 4.9 against KindMetric's 4.0. RunBeat also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 1). KindMetric's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads 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. RunBeat sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. KindMetric asks for nothing beyond the download.
RunBeat holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunBeat has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
