Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GrabGEO at none against GPS Tracks's 3. GrabGEO also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). GPS Tracks's advantage is chart position (#70 vs unranked) and device support (5 vs 3). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
