# UAV Forecast vs TideAtlas

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TideAtlas at none against UAV Forecast's 10. UAV Forecast's advantage is chart position (#27 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. UAV Forecast sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. TideAtlas asks for nothing beyond the download.
