If you’ve been running long enough that Apple Health already knows your easy pace, Reshape is the better pick. It skips the quiz and rebuilds your plan every week from what you actually ran. If you’re brand-new and you want strength and Pilates bundled in, Runna is still the honest answer.
Side-by-side, only what’s different
| Reshape | Runna | |

| Coaching note per workout | Plain-English, why this workout | Short session descriptions |
| Strength & Pilates | Not yet. Running-only | Full library |
| Price (monthly) | $4.99 / €4.99 | $19.99 |
| Ownership | Independent, Netherlands | Owned by Strava |
| Ads | None, ever | Cross-promo with Strava |
What Runna does better
- Strength and Pilates library. A real one, not a roadmap promise. If you want one app for running plus strength, Runna is it.
- Device support beyond Apple. Garmin, Coros, Fitbit. Reshape is Apple-only today.
- Longer track record. More runners, more race completions behind the plans. If that reassures you, it should.
Neither is right for you if…
- You want a human coach in the loop. Look at Coopah: human hybrid, same category.
- You want it free forever. Nike Run Club is free and has world-class audio coaching.
- You only want strength programming, not running. A dedicated strength app will be deeper than either of these.
Common questions
Can I import my Runna plan into Reshape?
No. Reshape builds a fresh plan from your Apple Health history, not from another app's plan. That's the point: it starts from what you actually ran, not from a template someone else assigned.
Will Reshape work if I'm mid-training for a race?
Yes. Tell it your race date and current week, and the plan picks up from your real recent training, not a reset. You don't lose the weeks you've already done.
Does Runna do anything that Reshape doesn't?
Yes. Runna has a bigger strength and Pilates library, a longer track record, and Garmin, Fitbit, and Coros support. If any of those matter to you, Runna is the honest answer.
