ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Traccar Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Traccar Manager has 185 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Traccar Manager's written reviews are positive against 52% of SimpliRoute's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Traccar Manager ships an update every 3 weeks, SimpliRoute every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
