# TrackChecker vs Package Tracker

The clearest difference is rating: Package Tracker at 5.0 against TrackChecker's 4.2. Package Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). TrackChecker's advantage is ratings volume (117 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TrackChecker sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Package Tracker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Package Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TrackChecker has 117 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TrackChecker ships an update every 2 months, Package Tracker every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
