Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: GPS Tracks at fortnightly against EcuaGPS's every 3 months. GPS Tracks also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 4) and chart position (#91 vs unranked). EcuaGPS's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
