# GPS vs PredictWind Race Tracker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PredictWind Race Tracker at 78% against GPS's 26%. PredictWind Race Tracker also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 11 months). GPS's advantage is rating (2.4 vs 1.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

PredictWind Race Tracker is free to download; GPS costs $0.99 up front. PredictWind Race Tracker sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. GPS asks for nothing beyond the download.

GPS holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of GPS's written reviews are positive against 78% of PredictWind Race Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GPS ships an update every 11 months, PredictWind Race Tracker every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 3, 2026 respectively.
