VAGUA

VAGUA is a boat when you need one. Say where you are leaving from and where you are going. A skipper accepts, you watch the boat come to you on the map, you step aboard. The price is shown before you confirm, and it does not move. BOOKING TAKES SECONDS Pick your departure pontoon and your destination, say how many of you there are, leave as soon as possible or at a time that suits you. You can browse the map and the fares without creating an account. WATCH THE BOAT ARRIVE Once your ride is accepted, you follow the boat live on the map, with an estimate of when it will reach you. No more scanning the horizon wondering whether anyone is coming. PAY AFTER, NOT BEFORE When you book, your card is only authorised: the amount is set aside, nothing is charged. The charge happens once the crossing is done. If the ride does not take place, the hold is released and nothing appears on your statement. MESSAGE YOUR SKIPPER A pontoon is hard to find, you are five minutes late, you are on the wrong quay: write to them straight from the app. WHAT TO KNOW VAGUA connects passengers with water-taxi operators. The crossing is sold and performed by the operator covering the area, under its own responsibility, with its boats and its professional skippers. Coverage depends on the operators present in each area and grows with them. If no boat serves your bay yet, the app says so plainly and offers to let you know when one does β rather than leaving you waiting for a boat that will not come. YOUR POSITION IS NOT A HISTORY Your position is used to place you on the map and to follow the ride in progress. No history of your movements is built. The full detail is in our privacy policy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: VAGUA at every 6 days against AIX & WTCE's every 11 months. AIX & WTCE's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
