Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Satellite Tracker Pro at none against Altimeter ∞ Elevation GPS's 3. Satellite Tracker Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (72% vs 50%). Altimeter ∞ Elevation GPS's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Altimeter ∞ Elevation GPS holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Altimeter ∞ Elevation GPS has 1K ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Altimeter ∞ Elevation GPS's written reviews are positive against 72% of Satellite Tracker Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Altimeter ∞ Elevation GPS ships an update every 3 weeks, Satellite Tracker Pro every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
