Verdict
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.
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.
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.
