Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NOAA Tides at 5.0 against USA Tides Data's 3.0. NOAA Tides also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). USA Tides Data's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
