# Device Settings vs Tracktopus

The clearest difference is rating: Tracktopus at 5.0 against Device Settings's 4.2. Device Settings's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Device Settings sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Tracktopus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tracktopus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Device Settings has 1.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Device Settings ships an update every 4 weeks, Tracktopus fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
