"My RUNNET" is the official app of RUNNET, the portal site for running enthusiasts. From finding races to entering, checking your race history, and collecting badges, this single app supports your entire running life. [Key Features] - Search races, events, courses, and teams Search races nationwide by the filters that matter to runners — ratings, start time, time limit, entry fee, and more. You can also find events such as practice sessions and seminars, running courses including "Run Japan" courses, and profiles of running clubs and teams. Apply for races and teams that catch your eye right inside the app. - Stay on top of running news The app delivers information runners want — races opening soon or closing soon, articles from Runners Online, editors' picks, and more — so you don't miss the race that's right for you. - Manage entry history and race records in one place Connect with RUNNET to view both upcoming races and past race records inside the app. RUNPASSPORT check-in passes are easy to display, too. You can also check your RUN Miles, RUNPO, membership stage, and other RUNNET activities all in one view. - Clip the races you care about Clip races you're interested in to review them later. Clips sync with your planned entries on RUNNET, so you can manage every upcoming race in one place — no more scattered information. - Push notifications so you never forget Get notified before clipped races open or close for entry, and before payment deadlines for races you've entered, so you never miss an entry or payment. You can also manage your notification topic subscriptions from inside the app. - Earn badges and make running more fun Badges are awarded automatically based on your race activity. In addition to badges for race distance and category, you can aim for badges that cover all 47 prefectures of Japan, and collect "Gojoin" stamps and "Castle Lord" titles from castle marathons across the country.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: My RUNNET at every 8 days against SteP GROUPアプリ's every 2 months. SteP GROUPアプリ's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 6%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
