RunBuddy compared

How RunBuddy compares with other running apps, and when one of them fits you better.

RunBuddy vs Runna

Runna alternative

Runna is built around set training plans. RunBuddy is built around a coach you can talk to, using the runs your Apple Watch already records.

RunBuddy vs Strava

Strava alternative

Strava is built for recording and sharing runs. RunBuddy is built for planning them, with a coach that adapts your plan after every run.

RunBuddy vs Garmin Coach

Garmin Coach alternative

Garmin Coach gives adaptive plans on Garmin watches. RunBuddy works with Apple Watch and adds a coach you can talk to, which changes the plan when you tell it something.

Your first plan takes two minutes.

Pick a goal, connect Apple Health, and your first week is ready.
