Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ElkNut at 4.3 against ElkTracker's 1.0. ElkNut also leads on ratings volume (260 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). ElkTracker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. ElkNut sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year and ElkTracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ElkNut holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ElkNut has 260 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ElkNut ships an update every 3 weeks, ElkTracker every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
