Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Interactful at Free against UI Tracer's $2.99. Interactful also leads on ratings volume (394 vs 4). UI Tracer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
