SwimTrack vs Swimlytics
These two are closer cousins than most pairs in this category: both automatically pull in official competitive results, both cover best times, meet history, standards, and power points. So the comparison comes down to what sits on top of that shared foundation.
SwimTrack's answer: a published price, apps for iOS, Android, and the web, high-school standards in beta, a weekly recap email, and Pacer — a race planning tool nothing else in the category has.

Frequently asked questions
How much does SwimTrack cost compared to Swimlytics?
SwimTrack publishes its pricing: free to start, and SwimTrack+ is $19.99 per year (or $2.99 monthly). Swimlytics is a free download and doesn't publish subscription pricing on its website, so you can only compare once you're inside the app.
Don't both apps fill in results automatically?
Yes — both SwimTrack and Swimlytics populate official competitive results automatically, so neither asks you to type in a season by hand. The differences are elsewhere: published pricing, Android and web apps, high-school standards, the weekly recap email, and Pacer race planning are SwimTrack's side of the table.
What does SwimTrack have that Swimlytics doesn't?
Pacer — a split-by-split race planning tool built from real pacing data — plus a full web app and an Android app, high-school standards in beta, a weekly recap email for parents, and a price you can see before you download.
