Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Trading Simulator at none against Stock Trainer's shown. Trading Simulator also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Stock Trainer's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Trading Simulator sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Stock Trainer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Trading Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 52 and 72 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Trading Simulator's written reviews are positive against 80% of Stock Trainer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Trading Simulator ships an update every 2 months, Stock Trainer every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
