US Market. No publisher influence. > **Key Insight:** Running Split Calculator is a utilities app by Stage Coding. ## Quick Facts | Fact | Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Category** | Utilities | | **Developer** | Stage Coding | | **Pricing** | Free | | **Platforms** | iOS | | **Confidence** | Low (0/1.0) | | **Data Age** | 0d | ## Metadata & Market Performance - **Publisher:** Stage Coding - **Category:** Utilities - **Target Audience:** Runners and athletes who need to calculate pace splits for training or race preparation. - **Platforms:** iOS - **Version Audited:** 1.0.2 - **Audit Date:** 2026-06-22 - **Signal Count:** 0 reviews analyzed - **Confidence:** Low (0/1.0) - **App Store ID (iOS):** 1619691839 - **Bundle ID:** com.calcon.runningsplitcalculator - **Performance Trend:** Declining - **Data Window:** Analysis based on signals collected up to 2026-06-22 ## Executive Snapshot **What it is:** Running Split Calculator is a utility app for runners to plan training paces and race targets on iOS. **Why users hire it:** Users hire this app to calculate specific split times for race preparation, fulfilling a pre-run planning need without the friction of ads or complex accounts. ## App DNA (Features & Intent) - **[Standard] Split Calculation:** Calculates pace requirements for running training or race planning * *User Intent:* Users expect intelligent, adaptive experiences that learn from their behavior. - **[Standard] Race Planning:** Configures target times for specific race distances ## Market Position {#market-position} Running Split Calculator occupies a static position in the Utilities category with no updates since May 2022. The lack of recent activity signals a low-priority maintenance posture relative to active training apps. ## Monetization Strategy - **Model:** Free - **Tiers:** Free - **Analysis:** The app is distributed as a free utility with no observable in-app purchases or subscription tiers. ## SWOT Analysis {#swot} **Core Strengths:** - Ad-free utility model reduces user friction **Critical Frictions:** - Zero feature updates since May 2022 - No wearable or live-tracking integration **Growth Levers:** - Wearable hardware integration for active tracking **Market Threats:** - Speeda's live tracking capabilities drain utility-focused users ## Recent Changes (v2 → v3) {#recent-changes} The competitive landscape was narrowed to focus on a single new competitor, Speeda, resulting in updated feature gap analysis and SWOT threats. **Overall trend**: Declining **Compared at**: 2026-06-22 ### High-impact changes - **[Shifted] Competitive Landscape Consolidation** (positioning) — Removed four broad competitors (Garmin, Strava, Calculator, Under Armour) in favor of a single direct competitor, Speeda. - **[Added] New Competitive Threat** (swot) — Added Speeda's live tracking capabilities as a specific threat to the app's user retention. ### Medium-impact changes - **[Shifted] Feature Gap Alignment** (features) — Replaced general biometric and social gaps with specific gaps for 'Live speed tracking' and 'Calendar integration' based on the new competitor. ## App Momentum (Zombie) {#momentum} - No updates since May 2022. - Maintenance mode, no active development. > **Cadence:** 1 total versions · 0 majors in last 6 months · 1512 days since last update ## The "So What?" (Strategic Takeaway) {#so-what} Running Split Calculator is an established utilities app that is completely free. > **Bottom Line:** Running Split Calculator provides a basic, ad-free utility for race planning, but its stagnant feature set and lack of live tracking make it an easy target for modern competitors, so the developer should pivot to wearable integration or accept a slow decline in relevance. **Best for:** Runners and athletes who need to calculate pace splits for training or race preparation. ### PM Action Plan (Next Best Moves) - [ ] [PIVOT] [MEDIUM IMPACT] Pivot to wearable integration because current static utility is losing to live-tracking competitors → increase user retention — *Competitor Speeda offers live tracking, which is the current market standard for runner utilities.* _(trade-off: deprioritize Deprioritize UI refresh — functional utility is the current priority over visual polish.)_ ### Feature Gaps vs Competitors - Live speed tracking (available in Speeda but absent here) - Calendar integration (available in Speeda but absent here) ### Outlook: Declining The running utility market is consolidating around apps that provide live performance data and scheduling. Running Split Calculator remains exposed due to its static feature set, meaning it will likely lose its remaining user base to competitors with active development cycles. - 🔴 The lack of updates since 2022 signals a maintenance-only posture, which allows competitors to capture the active runner demographic. ## Key Metrics Summary | Metric | Value | | :--- | :--- | | Total Reviews | 0 | | Confidence | Low | | Pricing Model | Free | | Platforms | iOS | | Key Features | 2 analyzed | | Trend | Declining | | Outlook | Declining | ## Competitor Comparison | App | Rating | Sentiment | Developer | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Running Split Calculator** (this app) | N/A/5 | N/A | Stage Coding | | [Speeda](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/speeda) | N/A/5 | N/A | Hoa Tran | | [Quantumult X](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/quantumult-x) | 3.8/5 | N/A | Cross Utility Ltd | | [V2Box - V2ray Client](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/v2box-v2ray-client) | 4.6/5 | Excited | techlaim | | [Potatso](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/potatso) | 4.4/5 | Excited | Potatso Lab LTD | | [Free VPN by Free VPN .org™](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/free-vpn-by-free-vpn-org) | 4.4/5 | Mixed | Free VPN LLC | ## Company Profile - **Developer:** Stage Coding ## Data Sources & Links - **App Store:** [View on Apple Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/running-split-calculator/id1619691839?uo=4) - **Sources:** App store metadata. ## Related Intel Reports - [*Speeda*](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/speeda) (Hoa Tran) — N/A Rating | N/A Sentiment - [*Quantumult X*](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/quantumult-x) (Cross Utility Ltd) — 3.8/5 Rating | N/A Sentiment - [*V2Box - V2ray Client*](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/v2box-v2ray-client) (techlaim) — 4.6/5 Rating | Positive Sentiment - [*Potatso*](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/potatso) (Potatso Lab LTD) — 4.4/5 Rating | Positive Sentiment - [*Free VPN by Free VPN .org™*](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/free-vpn-by-free-vpn-org) (Free VPN LLC) — 4.4/5 Rating | Mixed Sentiment - [*15C Pro Scientific Calculator*](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/15c-pro-scientific-calculator) (Vicinno Soft LLC) — 4.2/5 Rating | N/A Sentiment - [*Scale for grams - weight scale*](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/scale-for-grams-weight-scale) (Dung Vu) — 4.7/5 Rating | N/A Sentiment - [*Nitefall: Browser dark mode*](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/nitefall-browser-dark-mode) (FoxfortMobile) — 3.6/5 Rating | N/A Sentiment - [*Calculator# Hide Photos Videos*](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/calculator-hide-photos-videos) (NewSoftwares.net) — 4.4/5 Rating | N/A Sentiment - [*Work Log - Shift Tracker*](https://marlvel.ai/intel-report/utilities/work-log-shift-tracker) (AR Productions Inc) — 4.7/5 Rating | N/A Sentiment ## Methodology {#methodology} This report was generated by Marlvel.ai's 5-stage AI intelligence pipeline: 1. **Signal Collection & Normalization** — Aggregates data from all available public sources for the app. Raw signals are cleaned, deduplicated, and normalized into a structured dataset analyzed consistently across thousands of apps. 2. **Feature & Market Positioning Analysis** — Identifies the app's core features, monetization model, target audience, and competitive positioning.
