ASICS Runkeeper vs Sports Tracker

Round by round

1. Published pricing

   Both apps use a freemium model and provide a free plan. Runkeeper lists paid access from $11.99 per month and a Runkeeper Go plan at $39.99 per year. Sports Tracker says Premium includes premium maps and an ad-free app, but its price varies by region and currency. Runkeeper therefore gives a clearer published amount, while Sports Tracker may differ by location. The facts do not establish which costs less for a particular user, so this round is a tie.

2. Free plan

   Runkeeper’s Basic plan is free and lists activity tracking, basic stats, progress insights, workout comparisons, prescribed workouts, premium training plans, weather insights and Live Tracking. Sports Tracker confirms a free plan, but the supplied facts do not detail which of its analysis, map or sport features are included without Premium. Because Runkeeper documents a broader set of free-plan inclusions, it wins this round. Sports Tracker may still suit someone who only needs its basic service, but the facts do not specify that free tier’s full scope.

3. Training and sport tools

   Runkeeper records distance, duration, pace or speed, calories and route maps, supports running, walking, biking and other activities, and offers Indoor Mode, adaptive plans, guided audio workouts, reports and route search. Sports Tracker covers running, riding, hiking and gym workouts, with specialized modes for more than 100 sports and activities. It adds layered maps, 3D view, heatmaps, pace, heart-rate, laps, zones, altitude and training-load data. Sports Tracker wins for broader sport coverage and analysis tools; Runkeeper is more focused on running plans and coaching.

4. Devices and health connections

   Runkeeper lists support for Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Coros, Suunto, Polar and Amazfit. It can import from Apple Health, connect with Google Health/Fitbit, Health Connect and MyFitnessPal, and integrates with Apple Music and Spotify on iOS. Sports Tracker can sync workouts from Apple Health and connect to a heart-rate belt. Its Apple Watch app supports more than 100 sports, customizable screens, route navigation and summaries. Runkeeper wins because the supplied facts list more wearable and service connections.

5. Supported platforms

   Runkeeper is available on Android, iOS and the web. Sports Tracker lists Android, iOS, macOS and the web, giving it a desktop operating-system option that Runkeeper does not list. Sports Tracker also specifies minimum requirements of iOS 14.0 or later, watchOS 10 or later and Android 8.0 or later. Runkeeper’s supplied system details identify iPhone and Apple Watch support and a 120.6 MB iOS download. Sports Tracker wins this round on the broader stated platform list.

6. Privacy and security controls

   Runkeeper provides settings for who can view activities and maps, recommends limiting map visibility, and describes security measures for user information. It explains location and other permissions but does not identify a compliance certification. Sports Tracker says activities are private by default and can be set to public, followers or private. Its policy says protections meet at least GDPR levels worldwide and describes access controls, firewalls, malware protection, logging, secured connections and encryption. Sports Tracker wins because its supplied policy gives more specific defaults and safeguards.

7. Help and contact

   Runkeeper maintains a searchable Help Center covering accounts, billing, devices, imports, exports and troubleshooting, and lists [email protected]. Sports Tracker links to a support and help center and provides a contact option. Both therefore document a help route and direct contact path.
