Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SEQTRAK at Free against Triqtraq's $7.99. SEQTRAK also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Triqtraq's advantage is ratings volume (47 vs 9) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SEQTRAK holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Triqtraq has 47 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Triqtraq's written reviews are positive against 79% of SEQTRAK's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Triqtraq ships an update every 4 months, SEQTRAK every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
