# LinkedIn Learning vs Trailhead GO

LinkedIn Learning and Trailhead GO both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 82% of Trailhead GO's written reviews are positive against 40% of LinkedIn Learning's. Trailhead GO also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 15). LinkedIn Learning's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#162 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LinkedIn Learning sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Trailhead GO asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for LinkedIn Learning against 4.9 for Trailhead GO. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LinkedIn Learning has 78K ratings behind it against 8.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of LinkedIn Learning's written reviews are positive against 82% of Trailhead GO's.
