Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Wedge at freemium against Ace Trace's subscription. Wedge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (77% vs 51%). Ace Trace's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 50) and chart position (#124 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ace Trace sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Wedge sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Wedge holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ace Trace has 2.1K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Ace Trace's written reviews are positive against 77% of Wedge's.
Ace Trace ships an update every 2 weeks, Wedge fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
