Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Sliding Seas at 3.6K against Crowdabout's 3. Crowdabout's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sliding Seas sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Crowdabout sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Sliding Seas against 4.7 for Crowdabout. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sliding Seas has 3.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Sliding Seas ships an update every 3 weeks, Crowdabout every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
