# CandleCalc Plus vs Tracker Detector

The clearest difference is rating: Tracker Detector at 3.7 against CandleCalc Plus's 2.3. Tracker Detector also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (25 vs 3). CandleCalc Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
