Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Traccar Manager at 4.7 against GPS51's 3.7. Traccar Manager also leads on ratings volume (196 vs 3). GPS51's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Traccar Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Traccar Manager has 196 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Traccar Manager's written reviews are positive against 54% of GPS51's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Traccar Manager ships an update every 2 weeks, GPS51 every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
