# Finimize vs Trading Journal

The clearest difference is rating: Finimize at 4.8 against Trading Journal's 4.2. Finimize also leads on ratings volume (8K vs 47) and review sentiment (78% vs 57%). Trading Journal's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Finimize sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Trading Journal sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Finimize holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Finimize has 8K ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Finimize's written reviews are positive against 57% of Trading Journal's.

Finimize ships an update weekly, Trading Journal every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
