Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Marine Tech News at none against Labmate's shown. Marine Tech News also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Labmate's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 19 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
