Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sea Pro Connect at none against Fish Mapping's 3. Sea Pro Connect also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.1). Fish Mapping's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#111 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
