# Fishing Points vs Accuphy Sonar

The clearest difference is rating: Fishing Points at 4.4 against Accuphy Sonar's 3.9. Fishing Points also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Accuphy Sonar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (67% vs 48%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fishing Points sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Accuphy Sonar asks for nothing beyond the download.

Fishing Points holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fishing Points has 2.2K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Fishing Points's written reviews are positive against 67% of Accuphy Sonar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
