Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Seatorch Link at none against Reefability's 9. Seatorch Link also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0.0). Reefability's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
