Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ahoi at none against The Soft App's 3. Ahoi also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). The Soft App's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (79% vs 67%). On price, rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Soft App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.00 per month. Ahoi asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ahoi holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 32 and 71 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Ahoi's written reviews are positive against 79% of The Soft App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ahoi ships an update every 6 weeks, The Soft App every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
