# Treadmill Trails vs Train Ultra

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Treadmill Trails at 974 against Train Ultra's 6. Treadmill Trails also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Train Ultra's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Treadmill Trails sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Train Ultra sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Train Ultra holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Treadmill Trails has 974 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
