# Marine Navigation vs SkyTimer

The clearest difference is price: SkyTimer at Free against Marine Navigation's $32.99. SkyTimer also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (22 vs 2). Marine Navigation's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and review sentiment (68% vs 54%). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

SkyTimer is free to download; Marine Navigation costs $32.99 up front. Marine Navigation sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and SkyTimer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Marine Navigation holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SkyTimer has 22 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
