Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dyver at 100% against DiveMaps's 25%. Dyver also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (110 vs 2). DiveMaps's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
