Verdict
The clearest difference is price: The Picklr at Free against PickleballTrkr's $5.99. The Picklr also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (553 vs 5). PickleballTrkr's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 22%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.

The Picklr is free to download; PickleballTrkr costs $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
The Picklr holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Picklr has 553 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of The Picklr's written reviews are positive against 60% of PickleballTrkr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Picklr ships an update fortnightly, PickleballTrkr every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
