# InkcasteR vs TrainerBOX

The clearest difference is ads: InkcasteR at none against TrainerBOX's shown. TrainerBOX's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InkcasteR sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and TrainerBOX sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

InkcasteR ships an update fortnightly, TrainerBOX every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
