Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Canvas Run at 4.5 against do's 3.1. Canvas Run also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 10). do's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (64% vs 29%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Canvas Run holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canvas Run has 35K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of do's written reviews are positive against 29% of Canvas Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

do ships an update every 4 months, Canvas Run fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
