Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: CFR 29 at Free against STCW's $7.99. CFR 29 also leads on update cadence (every 12 months vs every 26 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). STCW's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
