The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tribe at 100% against Tracklib's 36%. Tribe also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 22). Tracklib's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and ratings volume (325 vs 58). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tracklib sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Tribe asks for nothing beyond the download.
