Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Location Tracker at none against Map Tracks's 1. Location Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 months). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
