Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Options Tracker at none against Option Explorer's shown. Options Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Option Explorer's advantage is ratings volume (160 vs 3) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 18.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
