Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GearsTrack at 5.0 against TopGuru's 3.5. GearsTrack also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). TopGuru's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (414 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TopGuru sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and GearsTrack sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GearsTrack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TopGuru has 414 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
TopGuru ships an update every 3 weeks, GearsTrack every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
