Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tracks. at 100% against ESPN Tournament Challenge's 34%. Tracks. also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). ESPN Tournament Challenge's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ESPN Tournament Challenge holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ESPN Tournament Challenge has 44K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of ESPN Tournament Challenge's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tracks.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ESPN Tournament Challenge ships an update every 9 days, Tracks. every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
