Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NSTracker at 100% against WPA's 50%. WPA's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WPA holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of NSTracker's written reviews are positive against 50% of WPA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 3, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
