# Trace Thai vs Thai Drill

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thai Drill at 80% against Trace Thai's 14%. Thai Drill also leads on ratings volume (29 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). Trace Thai's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trace Thai sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Thai Drill sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Trace Thai holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thai Drill has 29 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Trace Thai's written reviews are positive against 80% of Thai Drill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Trace Thai ships an update every 5 days, Thai Drill monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
