Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Macros at 100% against MacroTracker's 62%. Macros also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). MacroTracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). On price there is nothing between them.
