# Boxes vs BoxTrack

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Boxes at 91% against BoxTrack's 33%. Boxes also leads on price (Free vs $4.99) and ratings volume (953 vs 1). BoxTrack's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On update cadence, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Boxes is free to download; BoxTrack costs $4.99 up front. Boxes sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months. BoxTrack asks for nothing beyond the download.

BoxTrack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boxes has 953 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Boxes's written reviews are positive against 33% of BoxTrack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Boxes ships an update every 3 weeks, BoxTrack every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
