Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IBEX Training at none against CompTrain's 6. IBEX Training also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 53%). CompTrain's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CompTrain holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 46 and 35 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of CompTrain's written reviews are positive against 80% of IBEX Training's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CompTrain ships an update fortnightly, IBEX Training every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
