Word Tracker helps you keep track of your writing progress, right on the main screen, so you always know how close you are to reaching your goal. Set a target word count and a deadline for your writing project, and the app works out exactly how many words you need to write each day to hit your deadline. Track as many projects as you like, and switch between them whenever you want. Dive into the statistics screen to see a chart of your progress against your target, your outstanding word count, and how many days you have left until your deadline.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VarpApp at none against Word Tracker's 6. VarpApp also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Word Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
