Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PayJunction at 100% against PayTrace Go's 67%. PayJunction also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.4). PayTrace Go's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (744 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PayTrace Go holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PayTrace Go has 744 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of PayTrace Go's written reviews are positive against 100% of PayJunction's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PayTrace Go ships an update every 4 months, PayJunction every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
