# Run!!! vs Dune!

Run!!! and Dune! both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Run!!!'s written reviews are positive against 28% of Dune!'s. Run!!! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Dune!'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (545K vs 44K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Run!!! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Dune! sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Run!!! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dune! has 545K ratings behind it against 44K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Run!!!'s written reviews are positive against 28% of Dune!'s.

Run!!! ships an update every 2 months, Dune! fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
