# Fishing Points vs SeaThrough

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SeaThrough at none against Fishing Points's 12. SeaThrough also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Fishing Points's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 4) and chart position (#90 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fishing Points sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. SeaThrough asks for nothing beyond the download.

SeaThrough holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fishing Points has 31K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
