The clearest difference is rating: Wildfire Tracker at 4.5 against Wildfire Info's 3.4. Wildfire Tracker also leads on chart position (#6 vs unranked) and ratings volume (182 vs 31). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wildfire Info sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per year and Wildfire Tracker sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
