Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GPS Tracks at 85% against GeoCaches's 37%. GPS Tracks also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). GeoCaches's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
