PriceTRACK makes use of Apple’s Background App Refresh to notify you of price changes for any online product. No login required. Once you see the price that you like, you leave the app and complete your purchase normally. Unlike other price monitoring applications, PriceTRACK is completely self-contained; the page fetch is performed from your device. This means that any storefront will see that a person (as opposed to a bot) is interested in your tracked item. Originally conceived for game-pieces, PriceTRACK supports optimised Steam Community Market calls. Learn the value of your CS:GO and/or Dota 2 cosmetics and even see prices in your chosen currency! There's no limit to what you could track. If there is a price on a web-page (with a direct URL) then PriceTRACK can monitor it. Everything from Magic: the Gathering cards, to your local housing market, and even OTHER fetched pricelists. Now with a Share Extension so you can export URL's directly from Safari rather than copy-paste. Try TRACKing today for free, patience saves you money!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Barcodes at 4.8 against PriceTRACK's 3.8. Barcodes also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 5) and chart position (#158 vs unranked). PriceTRACK's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Both are free to download. PriceTRACK sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Barcodes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Barcodes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barcodes has 1.2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of PriceTRACK's written reviews are positive against 86% of Barcodes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PriceTRACK ships an update weekly, Barcodes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
