Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tide Chart USA holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tide Chart USA has 7.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Tide Chart USA's written reviews are positive against 88% of Ebb and Flow Tide Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tide Chart USA ships an update every 5 months, Ebb and Flow Tide Clock every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
