Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Kimura sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Sanabul Training Journal sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Sanabul Training Journal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kimura has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
