# Git client vs Tracer

The clearest difference is rating: Git client at 4.8 against Tracer's 4.0. Git client also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 1) and chart position (#11 vs #158). Tracer's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 9 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Git client sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Tracer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Git client holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Git client has 3.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Git client's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tracer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Git client ships an update every 9 days, Tracer daily. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
