Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pinpoint GPS at none against GPS Tracker's shown. Pinpoint GPS also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). GPS Tracker's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
