Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Marine Knots Lite at none against Sailing Term's 4. Marine Knots Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Sailing Term's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 21 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
