# Horse Riding Tracker vs Equestrian App

Equestrian App also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). Horse Riding Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 73). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Horse Riding Tracker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Equestrian App sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Horse Riding Tracker against 4.7 for Equestrian App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Horse Riding Tracker has 3.5K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Horse Riding Tracker's written reviews are positive against 81% of Equestrian App's.
