# Treadmill Trails vs XF Connect

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Treadmill Trails at 84% against XF Connect's 14%. Treadmill Trails also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1K vs 89). XF Connect's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Treadmill Trails sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and XF Connect sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Treadmill Trails holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Treadmill Trails has 1K ratings behind it against 89, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Treadmill Trails's written reviews are positive against 14% of XF Connect's.

Treadmill Trails ships an update every 2 months, XF Connect every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
