# LapTrophy vs OnTrack

The clearest difference is rating: LapTrophy at 4.8 against OnTrack's 3.3. LapTrophy also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 37%) and ratings volume (271 vs 54). OnTrack's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LapTrophy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and OnTrack sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LapTrophy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LapTrophy has 271 ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of LapTrophy's written reviews are positive against 37% of OnTrack's.

LapTrophy ships an update every 3 months, OnTrack every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
