# Train Effective vs LDC PERFORMANCE

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Train Effective at 70% against LDC PERFORMANCE's 0%. Train Effective also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (13K vs 6). LDC PERFORMANCE's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Train Effective sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and LDC PERFORMANCE sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train Effective has 13K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
