Hit your goal pace without staring at your screen. Pace Coach watches your pace and stays quiet in your ears while you are on target, then speaks up the moment you drift too fast or too slow. Keep your eyes up, keep your headphones in, and just run. FREE TO RUN WITH Setting a goal, pace alerts, auto-pause, splits and your five most recent runs cost nothing. No trial, no card, no account. SILENCE MEANS YOU ARE ON PACE Most pacing apps talk every lap whether you need it or not. Pace Coach only speaks when something has changed: - Running too fast: ease up before you burn out - Running too slow: a nudge to pick it up - Back on target: a quick confirmation, then quiet again At every kilometre you hear your split, and nothing else. SET ANY GOAL Pick your race and your target time, and Pace Coach does the pace maths: - 5K, 10K, half or full marathon - Or any distance you enter - Your target pace per kilometre, instantly AUTO-PAUSE Stop at a light or a water break and Pace Coach pauses on its own, then picks up the moment you run again. Clean stats, no buttons. COACHING IN YOUR POCKET Lock the screen or drop the phone in your pocket. Tracking and coaching carry on the whole way.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PaceCue Intervals at none against Pace Coach's 2. Pace Coach's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
