# Packages vs Package tracker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Packages at 68% against Package tracker's 9%. Packages also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (14K vs 1.3K). Package tracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#11 vs #171). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Packages sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Package tracker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Packages holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. 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 point the same way: 68% of Packages's written reviews are positive against 9% of Package tracker's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
