Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pitch Trainer at 4.7 against Earonman's 3.7. Pitch Trainer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (506 vs 6). Earonman's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 29%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pitch Trainer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Earonman sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pitch Trainer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pitch Trainer has 506 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Pitch Trainer's written reviews are positive against 50% of Earonman's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pitch Trainer ships an update every 5 days, Earonman every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
