Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Playgroup.gg at none against GameTrack's 5. Playgroup.gg also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 60%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). GameTrack's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 74) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GameTrack sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Playgroup.gg asks for nothing beyond the download.
Playgroup.gg holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GameTrack has 1.3K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of GameTrack's written reviews are positive against 82% of Playgroup.gg's.
GameTrack ships an update fortnightly, Playgroup.gg monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
