# Packages vs Package Tracker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Packages at 69% against Package Tracker's 16%. Packages also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (13K vs 383). Package Tracker's advantage is chart position (#8 vs #156). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Packages has 13K ratings behind it against 383, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Packages's written reviews are positive against 16% of Package Tracker's.

Packages ships an update fortnightly, Package Tracker weekly. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
