No longer freeApp now baits you in with 4 free runs and then locks further progression being the pro version. There are better free options.

NOT FREEMight as well run on your own it starts off free then get into paying just to run

Fixxxxxxx, Sep 1, 2026

Went down hillApparently I am not the only one that paid the pro plan years ago and found out that is gone. Now is an overpriced subscription service. Just Run is free and good.
