# Multitracker vs TM

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TM at none against Multitracker's 4. TM also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Multitracker's advantage is ratings volume (145 vs 4). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Multitracker sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. TM asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Multitracker against 4.3 for TM. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multitracker has 145 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Multitracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of TM's.

Multitracker ships an update every 2 months, TM fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
