Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: O'Reilly Pro at 4.3 against NOAA Directory's 3.7. O'Reilly Pro also leads on ratings volume (387 vs 3) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). NOAA Directory's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
