Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mares App at 4.5 against DIVEROUT's 3.6. Mares App also leads on ratings volume (183 vs 18). DIVEROUT's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (65% vs 47%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mares App sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and DIVEROUT sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mares App holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mares App has 183 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Mares App's written reviews are positive against 65% of DIVEROUT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mares App ships an update every 3 weeks, DIVEROUT every 5 days. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
