# Packages vs Package Tracker

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Packages at 14K against Package Tracker's 1.3K. Packages also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Packages sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Package Tracker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Packages against 4.7 for Package Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Packages has 14K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Packages's written reviews are positive against 66% of Package Tracker's.

Packages ships an update fortnightly, Package Tracker monthly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
