# TopGuru vs Trackara

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Trackara at 86% against TopGuru's 29%. Trackara also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.5). TopGuru's advantage is ratings volume (409 vs 10) and chart position (#163 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TopGuru sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Trackara sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Trackara holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TopGuru has 409 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of TopGuru's written reviews are positive against 86% of Trackara's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
