Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Treadmill Trails at free with in-app purchases against 跑步机助手's subscription. Treadmill Trails also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). 跑步机助手's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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. Treadmill Trails sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and 跑步机助手 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Treadmill Trails against 4.7 for 跑步机助手. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Treadmill Trails has 1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Treadmill Trails ships an update every 2 months, 跑步机助手 every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
