Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: gjICE at none against SmartTracker's 2. gjICE also leads on iOS requirement (17.5 vs 26.0). SmartTracker's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
