# SoccerTrackr vs Heatmapper

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Heatmapper at 100% against SoccerTrackr's 38%. Heatmapper also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). SoccerTrackr's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (112 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SoccerTrackr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Heatmapper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SoccerTrackr holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SoccerTrackr has 112 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of SoccerTrackr's written reviews are positive against 100% of Heatmapper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SoccerTrackr ships an update weekly, Heatmapper every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
