# Joyrun vs 步律

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.

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.

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.

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.
