Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IRONMAN Tracker at 4.9 against Z5's 4.0. IRONMAN Tracker also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (8.4K vs 1). Z5's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement 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. Z5 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. IRONMAN Tracker asks for nothing beyond the download.
IRONMAN Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IRONMAN Tracker has 8.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of IRONMAN Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Z5's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IRONMAN Tracker ships an update every 6 months, Z5 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
