# Device Tracker vs Hereroo

The clearest difference is rating: Hereroo at 5.0 against Device Tracker's 4.3. Hereroo also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Device Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 39%) and ratings volume (115 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Device Tracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hereroo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hereroo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Device Tracker has 115 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Device Tracker's written reviews are positive against 39% of Hereroo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Device Tracker ships an update every 3 months, Hereroo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
