# LaneTrax vs PlayGo

The clearest difference is rating: LaneTrax at 4.8 against PlayGo's 1.0. LaneTrax also leads on ratings volume (560 vs 2). PlayGo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LaneTrax sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. PlayGo asks for nothing beyond the download.

LaneTrax holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LaneTrax has 560 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

LaneTrax ships an update fortnightly, PlayGo every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
