# GPS Tracks vs X

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: X at none against GPS Tracks's 3. X also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). GPS Tracks's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Tracks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. X asks for nothing beyond the download.

X holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Tracks has 18K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of GPS Tracks's written reviews are positive against 100% of X's.

GPS Tracks ships an update fortnightly, X every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
