Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My TracerRoute at none against Ping's 1. My TracerRoute also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Ping's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
