Free
Free, and specific about what that means.
Most free running apps are free in one of three ways: adverts, a tracker that stops at 5 km, or you as the product. TrakRun's free tier is the whole of the recording app, unlimited, with no advert and nothing sold — and this page says exactly where the line is.

What free actually includes
Everything you need to record and review a run, with no cap on how many and no countdown to a paywall:
- Unlimited GPS run recording, from the iPhone or the Apple Watch, with live distance, pace and heart rate.
- Route maps and per-kilometre splits, plus your full run history and basic stats.
- Interval sessions you build yourself — warm-up, repeats, recovery, cool-down — coached step by step.
- Spoken split cues on phone and watch, Live Activity and Dynamic Island, and Bluetooth chest strap support.
- Apple Health sync, so runs from Strava, Runna and WHOOP land here too.
- A daily readiness score with every contributing factor shown, a nightly sleep score, and pace zones derived from your own predicted 5K.
- Mood and injury logging, and up to two goals.
Not a trial of those things. They are the free tier, and they stay free.
What you pay for, and why
TrakRun Pro is the layer that reads your running in depth: Your Coach’s daily call to push, adapt or recover, Run Analysis’s pattern-based signals, training-load analysis including ACWR, what your sleep does to your running, period-over-period comparisons and unlimited goals.
That work costs something real to run — the scores are calculated on TrakRun’s servers so they follow you between devices — and a subscription is the honest way to pay for it. It is monthly or yearly through the App Store, it starts with a free trial, and you can cancel from your Apple account settings at any time. Cancelling drops you back to the free tier; it does not take your history away.
The three ways free apps are usually paid for
Worth being blunt about, because “free” is doing a lot of different jobs across the App Store.
- Adverts. There are none in TrakRun, at any tier. An advert in the middle of a run summary is a bad enough experience that it would undo the rest of the app.
- A crippled tracker. The free recording here is not limited by distance, by run count, or by holding your splits behind a wall after the fact.
- Your data. This is the one that matters most and gets said least clearly, so: your data is private to your account. Never public, never sold, never shared with data brokers, never used for advertising. Ask us to delete your account and everything attached to it goes with it.
Free, but not a lesser app
The free tier is not a demo of TrakRun with the good parts removed — it is a complete run tracker, including the parts other apps charge for, like structured interval sessions and spoken pace coaching. If you never subscribe, you have a genuinely good running app that does not advertise at you.
And if you do, the thing you are buying is the reason the app exists: knowing when to push, and when to stop.
Common questions
- Is TrakRun free?
- Recording runs is free forever, with no limit on how many you record and no advert anywhere in the app. GPS tracking, route maps, per-kilometre splits, interval sessions you build yourself, spoken cues, Live Activity, chest strap support, full history, a daily readiness score, a nightly sleep score, pace zones, mood and injury logging and up to two goals are all in the free tier.
- What do you have to pay for?
- TrakRun Pro is the analysis layer: Your Coach, Run Analysis, Training Health with training-load analysis including ACWR, what your sleep does to your running, period-over-period comparisons and unlimited goals. It is a monthly or yearly App Store subscription with a free trial, and final pricing is published on the App Store at launch.
- Are there adverts in the free version?
- No. There are no adverts in TrakRun, at any tier. The free tier is paid for by the people who subscribe to Pro, which is the only arrangement that does not require selling something belonging to the people who don't.
- Do you sell my running or health data?
- No. Your data is private to your account — never public, never sold, never shared with data brokers and never used for advertising. It is synced to TrakRun's own servers over an encrypted connection because the recovery scores and analysis are calculated there and follow you between your iPhone and Apple Watch. You can ask us to delete your account and everything attached to it at any time.
- What happens to my free features if I cancel Pro?
- They keep working. TrakRun Pro is a standard App Store subscription you can cancel anytime from your Apple account settings, and cancelling returns you to the free tier rather than locking you out of your own run history.
