Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: NOAA Tides at daily against PH TIDES's fortnightly. NOAA Tides also leads on chart position (#112 vs unranked). PH TIDES's advantage is iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
