Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PayTrace Go at 4.9 against Swiper1's 2.6. PayTrace Go also leads on ratings volume (808 vs 7) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.6). Swiper1's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). 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 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PayTrace Go has 808 ratings behind it against 7, 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 Swiper1'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, Swiper1 every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
