Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Nautide at Free against Tide Cycle's $0.99. Nautide also leads on chart position (#63 vs unranked). Tide Cycle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
