What Runked does that Runna doesn't
Runked is $59.99 a year or $11.99 a week, against Runna's $119.99 a year or $19.99 a month, for a personalized training plan and race predictions, plus Runner DNA and fitness/fatigue analytics that Runna doesn't offer. Runna's own Runna Score is private and measures you against your own plan; it has no rank, no league and no way to compete with anyone else. Runked's rank can climb or fall with every run, trophies score effort relative to your own fitness so a beginner's hard week earns more than a faster runner's easy one, and streaks count consecutive days of running.
What Runna does that Runked doesn't
Runna's plans are coach-built: you pick your goal, ability, session length, weekly frequency, preferred days and available equipment, for distances from 5K up to 50km over 6 to 26 weeks. It schedules strength, mobility, yoga and stretch & stability sessions inside the same training calendar as your runs. It runs on iOS and Android, is available in eight languages, and syncs with Apple Watch, Garmin, Coros, Fitbit, Apple Health, Google Fit and Strava; Runna was acquired by Strava in 2025 and still operates as its own app. Runked's plans include strength workouts but no yoga sessions, they run from 5K to marathon, and there is no Android app: it is a subscription app for running, on iPhone.
Which should you pick
- Pick Runked if you run on iPhone and want a rank that moves with every run, trophies scored on effort and streaks, along with personalized plans, race predictions and load analytics at $59.99 a year.
- Stay with Runna alone if you want strength, mobility and yoga sessions in the same calendar as your runs, need Android, or want plan customization by goal, ability, session length and equipment, with distances up to 50km.
