# Map My Tracks vs Running Tracker App

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.

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.

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.

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.
