# GPX Trail Tracker vs GPX viewer 2

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GPX viewer 2 at 85% against GPX Trail Tracker's 42%. GPX viewer 2 also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). GPX Trail Tracker's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (253 vs 13). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPX Trail Tracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GPX viewer 2 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GPX Trail Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPX Trail Tracker has 253 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of GPX Trail Tracker's written reviews are positive against 85% of GPX viewer 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GPX Trail Tracker ships an update every 2 months, GPX viewer 2 monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
