Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HeyMelody at none against Device Tracker's 9. HeyMelody also leads on iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.6). Device Tracker's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (37K vs 1.4K). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
