Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Stack Tracker at none against MetalMetric's shown. Stack Tracker also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2). MetalMetric's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MetalMetric sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Stack Tracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MetalMetric holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stack Tracker has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of MetalMetric's written reviews are positive against 83% of Stack Tracker's.
