Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Map My Tracks at 100% against Running Tracker App's 71%. Running Tracker App's advantage is ratings volume (6.5K vs 8) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Map My Tracks sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Running Tracker App sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Running Tracker App holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Running Tracker App has 6.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Map My Tracks's written reviews are positive against 71% of Running Tracker App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Map My Tracks ships an update every 2 months, Running Tracker App every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
