# Satellite Tracker° vs Satellite Tracker 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Satellite Tracker 3D at 4.8 against Satellite Tracker°'s 4.4. Satellite Tracker 3D also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 10). Satellite Tracker°'s advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Satellite Tracker° sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year and Satellite Tracker 3D sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Satellite Tracker 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Satellite Tracker 3D has 58 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Satellite Tracker°'s written reviews are positive against 87% of Satellite Tracker 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Satellite Tracker° ships an update daily, Satellite Tracker 3D every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
