# EndNote vs My Trados

The clearest difference is rating: My Trados at 4.3 against EndNote's 2.6. My Trados also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). EndNote's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 32 months) and ratings volume (165 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

My Trados holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EndNote has 165 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

EndNote ships an update every 4 months, My Trados every 32 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
