# Trackara vs ReadMyStrip

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Trackara at 86% against ReadMyStrip's 0%. Trackara also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1). ReadMyStrip's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trackara sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and ReadMyStrip sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReadMyStrip holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trackara has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Trackara's written reviews are positive against 0% of ReadMyStrip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Trackara ships an update every 3 weeks, ReadMyStrip monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
