How does the Runna free trial work?
- The pricing page says "Free 7-day Trial" and "First week free. Cancel anytime."
- Runna's support page says the trial is typically 7 days, longer if you used a referral or partner code.
- Runna's support page says: "You won't be charged until your free trial ends. If you don't cancel before it expires, your subscription will start automatically and you'll be charged at that point."
- To avoid the charge you need to cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Runna also says the trial expires if you do not create a plan within 48 hours of downloading the app.
- If you would rather skip the trial, the same page says you can sign up on Runna's website and switch the free trial off, or buy a gift card.
What do you need to start with Runna?
- An account. The pricing page says: "After you create an account, download Runna on iOS or Android."
- The app, on iOS or Android.
- A subscription, bought through Apple, Google Play or Runna's website (Runna names Apple, Google Play and Paddle as the places you manage it).
How do you cancel Runna?
- You can cancel at any time. Runna's support page says monthly plans should be cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date, and that you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.
- Cancel where you bought it: Apple (Settings, your name, Subscriptions, Runna), Google Play (Subscriptions) or the Paddle customer portal for web sign-ups.
- Runna says deleting the app or your account does not cancel the subscription.

Is there a free alternative to Runna?
If you want a plan you can print or open in a spreadsheet, and you would rather not sign up for anything, the RunReps running plan generator is free. Here is exactly what it does:
- No account, no email address and no payment. There is an optional newsletter box under your finished plan, and you can ignore it.
- No app to download. It runs in your browser.
- Your plan is built in your browser from the answers you give.
- Free PDF and CSV downloads of the finished plan. The PDF opens as a print window, so allow pop-ups and choose Save as PDF.
What it does not do
- It does not adapt to your runs, sync to a watch or give coaching.
- It does not save your plan between visits, so download the file you want to keep.
