Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RA Tracker at 4.5 against Steam Database's 4.0. RA Tracker also leads on ratings volume (53 vs 7). Steam Database's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RA Tracker sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Steam Database sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
