# PlaceTrack vs I'm here

The clearest difference is price: I'm here at Free against PlaceTrack's $5.99. I'm here also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 55%). PlaceTrack's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ratings volume, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

I'm here is free to download; PlaceTrack costs $5.99 up front. I'm here sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PlaceTrack asks for nothing beyond the download.

PlaceTrack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of PlaceTrack's written reviews are positive against 100% of I'm here's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
