RunRight is built specifically for Apple Watch runners. It reads your actual VO2Max, heart rate, and running power from HealthKit — not self-reported fitness levels. This means your plan is based on real physiological data, not a questionnaire.
The one-tap WorkoutKit scheduling sends your planned workout directly to your Apple Watch. When you complete a run, the app detects it automatically through HealthKit's background observer and adjusts your next workouts.
Runna (acquired by Strava) has a larger community, coach marketplace, and cross-platform support including Android. If you use a Garmin, Polar, or other non-Apple watch, Runna is a better fit.
Runna also has significantly more App Store reviews (26,000+) and a more established track record in the market.
Runna costs $19.99/mo (or £19.99/mo in the UK). RunRight is $9.99/mo or $39.99/year — roughly half the price for deeper Apple Watch integration. Both offer a free tier to try before you subscribe.
If you're an Apple Watch runner who wants training plans built from your actual health data — VO2Max, heart rate, pace, power — RunRight offers deeper Apple ecosystem integration at a lower price. If you need Android support or a coaching marketplace, Runna is the better choice.
