# WildTracker vs Birdfy

The clearest difference is rating: Birdfy at 4.1 against WildTracker's 1.0. Birdfy also leads on ratings volume (3.6K vs 1). WildTracker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Birdfy sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.39 per month. WildTracker asks for nothing beyond the download.

Birdfy holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Birdfy has 3.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of WildTracker's written reviews are positive against 48% of Birdfy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
