Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TrekkingPoint Lite at none against GPS Tracks's 3. TrekkingPoint Lite also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). GPS Tracks's advantage is chart position (#91 vs unranked) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
