Bits is an app for professional stand-up comedians. It’s designed to keep your writing process fast and organized so you can focus on your comedy instead of the tools. Here's what it offers: *WRITE BITS* Whenever a funny thought pops into your brain, you can quickly add it to your infinite bits list. Just open the app, hit that plus button, and start writing. All your bits are saved securely*, instantly, and automatically so you won’t have to worry about that. *ADD NOTES* Writing the perfect bit comes with lots of experimentation and small details to remember. To help you with the ongoing process of adjustments, each bit has its section of notes. Bits and notes always come together so you won’t be able to lose important notes you’ve written to yourself. *BUILD SETS* We all wish for the perfect set. The set will catch the crowd on its first bit and finish with resounding laughter. This glory set is the easiest to build and manage. You can add bits to existing sets or create a new set and add bits to it. Simply drag & drop to reorder the bits and have them ready one by one. Move jokes up and down, remove and add until you find that perfect balance of laughs. *ON STAGE MODE* The old days of paper pages on a stool are over! When you’re up there on stage, you can switch to the on-stage mode and have your set ready for your performance. The screen will remain turned on and all black. While you perform, you can swipe right or left to indicate if the joke did well or not so you can come back to it later and reshape it the way you think best. *ORGANIZE WITH LABELS* Planning a Christmas set? And how about those airport bits? Or where did you put all of your funny bits about your dad? Oh, they’re all labeled! Label each bit with any label(s) you want. Either apply labels from the bit screen or add bits to an existing label from the labels screen. Access by bit the themes you think are most suitable for your next set. *SET STATUSES* Writing a bit is a process. It starts with a thought and moves up the ladder until it’s done. Draft, done, or gold - these are predefined statuses for your bits which will help you plan ahead and easily see which bits need more work, which can be performed and get laughs, and which are so good that you can close and get max cheers from your crowd. *TIME YOUR BITS* You got only 5 minutes, 5:10 at most. Which bits can be squeezed in to fit that time limitation? Oh, that’s easy. Each bit is generated with an approximate time it’ll take you to perform it, but you can always tweak it and make sure you can plan every bit to fit perfectly into its time slot. ---- --- *Please note that material backup, bit feedback, and custom icons are available to paid subscribers only. ---- --- I’d love to answer your questions or just hear what you think about Bits.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Trainerly AI at none against Bits's 16. Trainerly AI also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Bits's advantage is ratings volume (229 vs 7) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bits sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Trainerly AI asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bits holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bits has 229 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Bits's written reviews are positive against 100% of Trainerly AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bits ships an update fortnightly, Trainerly AI every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
