Verdict

The call

Ballistics and GUNTRACK both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of GUNTRACK's written reviews are positive against 45% of Ballistics's. GUNTRACK also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Ballistics sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and GUNTRACK sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ballistics holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 60 and 154 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Ballistics's written reviews are positive against 80% of GUNTRACK's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ballistics ships an update every 2 months, GUNTRACK every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
