# Training Today vs MyCaffeine

The clearest difference is rating: Training Today at 4.6 against MyCaffeine's 3.6. Training Today also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 5). MyCaffeine's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 53%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Training Today sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.95 per month and MyCaffeine sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Training Today holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Training Today has 2.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Training Today's written reviews are positive against 75% of MyCaffeine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Training Today ships an update every 6 weeks, MyCaffeine every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
