Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stryd at 61% against Maraton Lala's 0%. Stryd also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (240 vs 1). Maraton Lala's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price and ads 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. Stryd sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per month. Maraton Lala asks for nothing beyond the download.
Maraton Lala holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stryd has 240 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Stryd's written reviews are positive against 0% of Maraton Lala's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stryd ships an update every 3 days, Maraton Lala every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
