Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SQL T at Free against Orbitrack's $4.99. SQL T also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Orbitrack's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
