# PADI vs Seago App

PADI and Seago App both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Seago App's written reviews are positive against 54% of PADI's. PADI's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (46K vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seago App sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. PADI asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for PADI against 5.0 for Seago App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PADI has 46K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 54% of PADI's written reviews are positive against 100% of Seago App's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
