# GUNTRACK vs Hornady Reloading Guide

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GUNTRACK at 80% against Hornady Reloading Guide's 31%. GUNTRACK also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Hornady Reloading Guide's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 158) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GUNTRACK sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hornady Reloading Guide sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hornady Reloading Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hornady Reloading Guide has 17K ratings behind it against 158, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of GUNTRACK's written reviews are positive against 31% of Hornady Reloading Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GUNTRACK ships an update every 3 weeks, Hornady Reloading Guide every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
