Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Trax at none against Playbook's 2. Trax also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Playbook's advantage is ratings volume (117 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Playbook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $18.00 per month. Trax asks for nothing beyond the download.
Trax holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Playbook has 117 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
