Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TracerouteX at none against Pawdoll's 3. TracerouteX also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Pawdoll's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 71%) and ratings volume (38 vs 7). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Pawdoll sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. TracerouteX asks for nothing beyond the download.
TracerouteX holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pawdoll has 38 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Pawdoll's written reviews are positive against 71% of TracerouteX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pawdoll ships an update every 6 months, TracerouteX every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
