# Training Today vs Simple Insights

The clearest difference is update cadence: Simple Insights at every 2 days against Training Today's every 6 weeks. Simple Insights also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Training Today's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 5) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Training Today sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.95 per month and Simple Insights sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple Insights holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. 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.

Training Today ships an update every 6 weeks, Simple Insights every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
