Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Ski Tracks at Free against Solocator's $0.99. Ski Tracks also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (83% vs 56%). Solocator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#2 vs #114). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
