Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Private Tracker at 4.2 against FMS SmartTrack's 3.0. Private Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 2). FMS SmartTrack's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Private Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. FMS SmartTrack asks for nothing beyond the download.
Private Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private Tracker has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of FMS SmartTrack's written reviews are positive against 74% of Private Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FMS SmartTrack ships an update every 8 months, Private Tracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
