Cronohub Trackr

Cronohub Trackr shows the organiser, and if you choose the spectators on the event's public live map, where you are on the course during a race timed with Cronohub. HOW IT WORKS • Scan the QR code from your race confirmation (or open the link the organiser sent you) and confirm your bib number. • In the start window, run the quick system check and tap Start. Tracking keeps running in the background with the screen off. • Your position is sent only while tracking is on: from the start window until you finish, drop out or the race cutoff passes. It stops on its own. • A help button sends your last position to the organiser's timing team if you need assistance on the course. BUILT FOR RACE DAY • Battery-aware: sampling and upload cadence adapt to your battery level and to whether you are moving, and slow down while you stop at an aid station. • Works with poor coverage: positions are stored on the phone and sent as soon as signal returns. • Location is used only while the app is in use; no account, no ads, no tracking across other apps. Cronohub Trackr works for events timed with Cronohub whose organiser has enabled live tracking. Participants receive their personal QR code from the organiser.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cronohub Trackr at none against Mares App's 4. Mares App's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
