Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: True Trainer at 5.0 against TrainLog App's 4.5. True Trainer also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 2). TrainLog App's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. True Trainer sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and TrainLog App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.90 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

True Trainer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: True Trainer has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of True Trainer's written reviews are positive against 100% of TrainLog App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

True Trainer ships an update fortnightly, TrainLog App every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
