The YB Tracking iPhone/iPad app allows you to follow live race tracking on your mobile - updated to feature everything we track including yacht races, car rallies, adventure racing and more. Information in the race viewer is also controlled by the race organisers - not YB Tracking. For instance, if a race organiser has not provided pictures for the teams, then pictures will not appear in this app or on our web-based viewer. Key features: - See information about the teams in the race - View live leaderboards - Review the map, course and wind info (where available) - Zoom to all teams, leaders, and the course area - Social media feed with news about the race - Replay facility, to allow you to scrub backwards and forwards in time Note: This app requires an internet connection to operate
Workotrack
Read full descriptionHide full description
Workotrack puts everyone in an endurance event on one live map. Taking part? Enter the code your organiser gave you, turn sharing on at the start, and put your phone away. Your position appears on the event's map until you stop or the event's window closes, which it does on its own. Watching? The people following you need no account and no app. They open a link and see every participant on the course, how far each has come, and roughly when to expect them at the finish. WHAT IT DOES - Live positions on the event's own course, not a dot in a field beside the road - Distance covered and distance left, because every position is matched to the route - Finish estimates that account for the climbs ahead rather than an average pace - A Live Activity on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island while you ride - Battery settings from most accurate to most economical, so a long day still ends with a phone that works FOR ORGANISERS Create an event at workotrack.com, upload the course as a GPX or TCX file, and share the join code. Spectators get one link that works for everyone. PRIVACY Sharing is per event and per participant. Location is recorded only while you have sharing turned on, only inside the window the organiser set, and it stops by itself when that window closes. You can turn it off at any time, and deleting your account removes your position history with it. Workotrack is not official timing, and it is not safety equipment. Positions come from consumer phone GPS and mobile coverage, both of which have gaps.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Workotrack at none against YB Races's 10. Workotrack also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). YB Races's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
