# Ortho vs Braces Tracker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Braces Tracker at 100% against Ortho's 57%. Braces Tracker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Ortho's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (73 vs 9). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ortho sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Braces Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Braces Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ortho has 73 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Ortho's written reviews are positive against 100% of Braces Tracker's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
