# Intervals Pro vs RunRoutes

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Intervals Pro at 14K against RunRoutes's 2. RunRoutes's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Intervals Pro sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and RunRoutes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RunRoutes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intervals Pro has 14K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Intervals Pro ships an update weekly, RunRoutes every 2 days. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
