Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: swimbooker at 69% against Seacraft's 11%. swimbooker also leads on price (Free vs $3.99) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Seacraft's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
