# Linksys vs DigiTrainsPro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DigiTrainsPro at 100% against Linksys's 21%. DigiTrainsPro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Linksys's advantage is ratings volume (98K vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Linksys sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. DigiTrainsPro asks for nothing beyond the download.

DigiTrainsPro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linksys has 98K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of Linksys's written reviews are positive against 100% of DigiTrainsPro's.

Linksys ships an update every 5 weeks, DigiTrainsPro every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
