Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bagotte at 4.6 against ReefBeat's 2.6. Bagotte also leads on review sentiment (26% vs 17%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). ReefBeat's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 321). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
