# Anchor Pro vs SeaHours

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Anchor Pro at 3.6K against SeaHours's 2. SeaHours's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anchor Pro sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per year and SeaHours sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SeaHours holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anchor Pro has 3.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Anchor Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of SeaHours's.
