Tickets will cost the same price if purchased at the same station immediately before departure.
If you will be buying tickets at the station just before departure then these Regionale Veloce (RGV/RV) trains will be more than 50% cheaper than the Frecce or Eurocity trains.
Though if you can book online ahead of the travel date, you can often save by taking those EuroCity trains,
Rail pass users should target these trains and avoid the rail pass reservation fees on the Frecce trains and Eurocity trains.

The express train service between Verona and Trento is provided by;
(1) Frecce trains operated by Trenitalia, and
(2) these EC trains, which tend to be €5 cheaper than the Frecce trains,
(3) other Italo trains
Tickets for the Trenitalia Frecce trains and the EC trains are placed on sale 4 months in advance (usually), but the Italo train tickets are made available 5 months ahead (usually)
If you're booking no more than 4 months ahead and have no particular preference for the train that you will be taking, then the price and departure times of the Frecce and Italo trains can be directly compared on Trainline and Loco2.
Trenitalia does not sell tickets for the Italo trains - and Italo does not sell tickets for the Trenitalia or EC trains.

We have singled out these EuroCity trains as they tend to be cheaper than the Frecce trains which also travel between Verona and Trento - and they're less than 4 mins slower.
So these trains can be the best option for Verona to Trento journeys if you can book in advance and don't mind having to travel by a specific train.
Between 09:04 and 17:02 they depart from Verona every other hour.
However, if you will be using a InterRail or Eurail pass in Italy, avoid these trains and take the alternative Regionale trains instead.
