# Tide Graph vs Raymarine

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tide Graph at 70% against Raymarine's 12%. Tide Graph also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.5) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 17). Raymarine's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Raymarine is free to download; Tide Graph costs $1.99 up front. Tide Graph sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Raymarine sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tide Graph holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tide Graph has 1.6K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Tide Graph's written reviews are positive against 12% of Raymarine's.
