# OCEARCH Shark Tracker™ vs SeaLevels

The clearest difference is rating: OCEARCH Shark Tracker™ at 4.8 against SeaLevels's 4.3. OCEARCH Shark Tracker™ also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (8.8K vs 7). SeaLevels's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OCEARCH Shark Tracker™ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. SeaLevels asks for nothing beyond the download.

OCEARCH Shark Tracker™ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OCEARCH Shark Tracker™ has 8.8K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of OCEARCH Shark Tracker™'s written reviews are positive against 100% of SeaLevels's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

OCEARCH Shark Tracker™ ships an update every 4 weeks, SeaLevels every 7 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
