Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Jolt holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jolt has 894 ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Jolt's written reviews are positive against 50% of Trainual's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jolt ships an update every 3 weeks, Trainual every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
