# Tracer vs 足跡

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tracer at 58% against 足跡's 35%. 足跡's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tracer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 足跡 sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
