Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Boat Speedometer at none against MySurfConnect's shown. Boat Speedometer also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). MySurfConnect's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
