Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GPS Data Smart at 4.7 against Private Tracker's 4.2. GPS Data Smart also leads on ratings volume (406 vs 16). Private Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Private Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and GPS Data Smart sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GPS Data Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Data Smart has 406 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Private Tracker's written reviews are positive against 72% of GPS Data Smart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Private Tracker ships an update every 3 weeks, GPS Data Smart every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
