Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GeoTrakR at 5.0 against Etihad's 4.4. GeoTrakR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). Etihad's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GeoTrakR sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Etihad asks for nothing beyond the download.
GeoTrakR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Etihad has 18K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
GeoTrakR ships an update every 5 months, Etihad every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
