apiALARM holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3.

Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Lil Tracker's written reviews are positive against 29% of apiALARM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lil Tracker ships an update every 26 months, apiALARM every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on July 6, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
