Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Outside at 4.7 against Santa Tracker's 4.0. Outside also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 10 months). Santa Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 54%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Santa Tracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Outside sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Outside holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outside has 2.8K ratings behind it against 81, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Santa Tracker's written reviews are positive against 54% of Outside's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Santa Tracker ships an update every 10 months, Outside every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
