# Tracking vs Package Tracker

The clearest difference is ads: Tracking at none against Package Tracker's shown. Tracking also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.0). Package Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (534 vs 54). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tracking sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Package Tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tracking holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Package Tracker has 534 ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Tracking's written reviews are positive against 47% of Package Tracker's.

Tracking ships an update monthly, Package Tracker every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
