Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Joyrun at 1.5K against 步律's 1. 步律's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Joyrun sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 步律 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

步律 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Joyrun has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Joyrun ships an update every 3 weeks, 步律 every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
