RunV vs Runna
RunV and Runna both build personalised running plans from 5K to marathon and sync with Garmin and Apple Watch. The practical differences are price and what happens when training goes wrong. RunV is £8 a month or £60 a year against Runna's £15.99 a month or £99.99 a year — roughly half the annual cost — and rebuilds the remaining plan automatically when you miss a run. Runna offers a free tier and a larger community programme, which RunV does not.

“Not stated on their pricing page” means exactly that — we only claim what Runna publishes about itself, so an absence here is a gap in the evidence, not an accusation.
Where Runna is the better choice
- Runna has a free plan. RunV does not — there is a one-week trial and then it is paid.
- Runna lists Fitbit and Coros support explicitly; RunV covers Apple Watch, Garmin, Wear OS and Strava.
- Runna promotes Olympic-level coaching experience behind its plans and a large community programme, which is a genuine draw if that matters to you.
The short answer
If you want the cheapest credible adaptive plan in the UK and you train around an unpredictable week, RunV costs about half as much a year and rebuilds itself when life interrupts. If you want a free tier, Fitbit or Coros support, or the pull of a big community, Runna is the better fit.
Asked often
- Is RunV cheaper than Runna?
- Yes, in the UK. RunV is £8 a month or £60 a year. Runna's own pricing page showed £15.99 a month or £99.99 a year when we last checked it on 7 September 2026. Over a year that is £60 against £99.99.
- Does Runna have a free version?
- Runna's pricing page lists a free plan alongside its paid plans. RunV does not have a free tier — it gives you the first week free and is then paid, with no advertising and no free plan.
- What is the main difference between RunV and Runna?
- Both build a personalised plan for your distance and goal. The difference RunV is built around is what happens after you miss a session: RunV rebuilds the remaining weeks automatically rather than leaving you to work out what to drop.
- Do both work with Garmin and Apple Watch?
- Yes. Both state support for Garmin and Apple Watch. Runna additionally lists Fitbit and Coros; RunV covers Wear OS and Strava.
