# MacroTracker vs GetMakro

The clearest difference is rating: GetMakro at 5.0 against MacroTracker's 4.3. GetMakro also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 62%). MacroTracker's advantage is ratings volume (554 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MacroTracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and GetMakro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GetMakro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacroTracker has 554 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of MacroTracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of GetMakro's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
