Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PredictWind Race Tracker at 78% against Raymarine's 12%. PredictWind Race Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). Raymarine's advantage is rating (1.5 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PredictWind Race Tracker sells 2 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.
Raymarine holds the better App Store score, 1.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raymarine has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of PredictWind Race Tracker's written reviews are positive against 12% of Raymarine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PredictWind Race Tracker ships an update every 6 weeks, Raymarine every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
