Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fishing Points at 4.4 against Troll Master Depth Calculator's 3.8. Fishing Points also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 73). Troll Master Depth Calculator's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 48%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fishing Points sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Troll Master Depth Calculator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fishing Points holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fishing Points has 2.2K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Fishing Points's written reviews are positive against 66% of Troll Master Depth Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
