Trace a loop on the map with your finger or mouse. Close it and the area inside turns into your territory, the same way a real run does in Motera.
Demo numbers. In the app, your real GPS run draws the loop.

Awesome app!
Great way to get back into running! The streaks and unlocks make the whole process fun. And the leaderboard ensures I don't skip days lol

Bonjour, j'ai téléchargé hier l'application et suis tombé sous le charme du principe. J'ai conquis ma première zone ce matin et pris l'abonnement pro pour vous soutenir, simplement depuis ma première course l'application se ferme automatiquement…

Amazing APP
Run it. Claim it. Defend it. Level up.
Finish where you started. Everything inside your loop is yours on the real map.
Someone runs over your turf, you get an alert. Run it again and take it back.

Runkeeper$9.99/moFree tier, or $39.99/yrMotera Pro is $9.99 a month, $2 less than Strava. You get GPS tracking and a social feed like on Strava, plus territory capture and Fog of War, which no other app here has, and XP on every run. Try it free first, then decide.
Plenty of runners keep Nike Run Club, Runna or Garmin Coach for their training plan and use Motera on top for the game. Partly counts as half a point. Prices are US App Store and website prices as listed in 2026.
Motera is an iOS running app that turns your runs into a territory game. It tracks every run with full GPS, and when you close a loop, the area inside becomes your territory on a live city map. You earn XP, climb local leaderboards, and connect with other runners through groups, chats, comments, and posts.
Motera Pro costs $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year in the US App Store, and prices in other countries show in the App Store. It starts with a free trial, so you can run with it before you pay. If you cancel at least a day before the trial ends you are not charged.
Run a closed loop around any area and Motera captures it for you on a real-world map. The bigger the loop, the more land you claim. Other runners can take your territory by running their own loops through it, so there is always a block to win back.
Yes, that is the closest comparison for Motera. You explore your city on foot, reveal the map through Fog of War, and capture real-world territory by running loops, so every run becomes a game you play on a live map.
No. Motera uses your iPhone's built-in GPS to track runs and capture territory, so the phone in your pocket is enough. No watch or extra hardware is required.
Motera tracks distance, pace, splits, and elevation like any serious tracker, then adds what those apps do not have: a territory game on a live map, XP and levels, and Fog of War exploration. You can also keep Strava, Nike Run Club, or a Garmin plan for training and use Motera on top for the game.
Fog of War hides the streets you have never run. As you explore your city on foot the map clears, which turns every run into an exploration mission and nudges you toward new routes.
Not yet. Motera is on the App Store for iPhone today, and Android is on the way. Follow motera.app for launch news.
Motera Pro is billed through your Apple ID. On your iPhone open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Motera, and cancel. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for, and if you cancel at least a day before a free trial ends you are not charged.
You control what other runners see. Your runs power your own map, stats, and territory, and you decide what you share with the community. The Motera privacy policy on motera.app explains how your data is stored and used.
Go for a run, close a loop and the block is yours. Then try to keep it.
Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Cancel a day before the trial ends and you pay nothing.
