# 训记 vs Training Note

The clearest difference is monetization model: 训记 at free against Training Note's freemium. 训记 also leads on ratings volume (534 vs 6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). Training Note's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 训记 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Training Note sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Training Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 训记 has 534 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of 训记's written reviews are positive against 87% of Training Note's.

训记 ships an update every 3 days, Training Note every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
