# GameTrack vs GamingBuddy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GamingBuddy at 83% against GameTrack's 60%. GamingBuddy also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). GameTrack's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 198). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GameTrack sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and GamingBuddy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GamingBuddy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GameTrack has 1.2K ratings behind it against 198, 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 83% of GamingBuddy's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
