ASICS Runkeeper
Runkeeper suits people who want phone-based logging, a web history and many named wearable connections. Its free entry level handles the basic record, while Go targets runners seeking structured plans, audio coaching, deeper reports or Live Tracking. Apple Watch support is listed for iPhone users with Series 3 or newer, and Android does not provide coaching or target pace. The discontinued developer API is relevant if outside software needs to read or write Runkeeper data.
- Phone GPS captures distance, duration, pace or speed, calories and route maps.
- Runkeeper names Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Coros, Suunto, Polar and Amazfit as supported wearables.
- Free Basic plan is available.
FITTR
FITTR fits someone who wants a coach to coordinate food, workouts and ongoing health records rather than a standalone exercise log. Its Android, iOS and web access suit people who move between devices, while FITTR can read permitted Apple HealthKit data and handles Google Fit and Health Connect data. The main decision is cost: meaningful coaching begins at $139 a month, while Core and Elite include the Sense Pro scale and HART ring. People seeking a named smartwatch app should confirm compatibility first, because the listed integrations are data connections rather than watch-platform support.
- Personalized nutrition and workout plans with an assigned coach
- Tracks calories, steps, measurements and progress over time
- Supports Apple HealthKit, Google Fit and Health Connect data
Round by round
Published plan pricing
Runkeeper lists a free Basic plan and Runkeeper Go at $39.99 a year. Its pricing note also lists paid access from $11.99 a month. FITTR lists Essential at $139 a month, Core at $189 a month and Elite at $249 a month. FITTR also lists a free plan, but its named coaching plans are paid monthly. Runkeeper wins this round because its published paid options cost less, and it offers an annual plan. FITTR’s plans include a dedicated coach and, on higher tiers, devices and scheduled calls, so the prices cover a different service model.
ASICS Runkeeper takes this round
Free access
Both apps list a free plan. Runkeeper’s Basic plan includes activity tracking and logging, basic stats, progress insights, workout comparison, prescribed workouts, premium training plans, weather insights and Live Tracking. FITTR’s facts confirm a free plan but do not list its free-tier feature set. The facts therefore show free access for both, but they do not establish that the free plans provide the same tools. This round is a tie because neither product can be awarded the win without a like-for-like list of free features.
Tracking and coaching tools
Runkeeper uses phone GPS to record distance, duration, pace or speed, calories and route maps. It supports running, walking, biking and other activities, plus indoor mode, routes, audio-guided workouts, race plans and progress reports. FITTR combines personalized training and nutrition plans, weekly coach calls, macro and food tracking, body measurements, community features, diagnostics and coaching across areas such as strength, yoga, rehabilitation and diabetes management. FITTR wins because its recorded features cover coaching, nutrition, health data and multiple coaching specialties, while Runkeeper is more focused on activity recording and running support.

Health and wearable connections
Runkeeper lists support for Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Coros, Suunto, Polar and Amazfit. It can import from Apple Health, and users can separately control syncing from Runkeeper to Apple Health. It also documents Google Health/Fitbit, Health Connect and MyFitnessPal connections, plus Apple Music and Spotify on iOS. FITTR can read permitted Apple HealthKit data and documents Google Fit and Health Connect integrations. Its HART ring and Sense Pro scale are part of its own ecosystem. Runkeeper wins for the broader named third-party wearable and service list; FITTR is more centered on its own devices and health platform.

Supported platforms
Both Runkeeper and FITTR are available on Android, iOS and the web. Runkeeper’s current Apple listing identifies iPhone and Apple Watch support and a 120.6 MB iOS download. FITTR links to the Apple App Store and Google Play; its Apple listing requires iOS 17.6 or later and lists a 425.7 MB app size. Both therefore cover the same three main platforms.
Support channels
Runkeeper directs users to [email protected] and maintains a searchable Help Center covering accounts, billing, devices, imports, exports and troubleshooting. FITTR lists [email protected] and the phone number 08888003430. Its coaching plans also specify weekly touch points or a 24-hour message service level, depending on the plan. FITTR wins because the facts name both email and phone support and add plan-specific contact commitments. Runkeeper has a documented Help Center, but no phone channel or response commitment is listed in the facts.

Privacy and security statements
Runkeeper provides controls for who can view activities and maps, explains permission use and says it has security measures to protect information. It does not identify a compliance certification on the stated page. FITTR says health data and integration data are processed after explicit consent, permissions can be withdrawn, and messages, photos, videos and documents are encrypted. It states alignment with ISO 27001:2013, certification by a CERT-In empaneled auditor, and compliance claims covering HIPAA, GDPR and India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act. FITTR wins because its facts contain more specific privacy, encryption and compliance statements.

The short of it
Choose ASICS Runkeeper for phone-GPS activity records, running plans, route maps and a lower published paid price. It also names more third-party wearable connections and supports web activity history. Choose FITTR for a coach-led program that joins nutrition, workouts, health data, diagnostics and optional devices. FITTR costs more on its listed coaching plans but includes dedicated coaching and scheduled contact. Both support Android, iOS and the web, and both list a free plan. The deciding point is self-directed activity tracking versus personalized health coaching.
