PhotoGPSTrack

PhotoGPSTrack records the GPS track of your photo outings so you can precisely geotag every shot from your camera β even one without built-in GPS. BACKGROUND GPS TRACKING Start recording before you head out, lock your phone or use it normally: the track keeps recording in the background without interruption. A CLOCK SYNCED WITH YOUR CAMERA Most cameras don't have a clock perfectly in sync with your phone. PhotoGPSTrack shows a reference clock you can set two ways: β’ enter a precise offset (days, hours, minutes, seconds) β’ enter the exact date and time currently shown on your camera This clock lets you match every photo to the right point on your track when importing into your geotagging software. LIVE TRACKING A Live Activity shows your tracking status right on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: duration, points recorded, stop with one tap. A Home Screen widget lets you start a session without even opening the app. HISTORY AND GPX EXPORT Find all your rides in the history, view the route on a map, and export each session as a standard GPX file to use in your favorite geotagging software (Lightroom, GeoSetter, etc.). BUILT FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS A simple, fast interface designed to be used one-handed on a photo walk, hike, bike ride, or trip. FREE, WITH A ONE-TIME UNLOCK PhotoGPSTrack is free and lets you record up to 3 tracks. Beyond that, a single "PhotoGPSTrack Pro" purchase (no subscription, pay once) unlocks unlimited tracks and GPX export.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Location Tracker at none against PhotoGPSTrack's 1. Location Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
