Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NavimetriX at 5.0 against PredictCurrent's 4.5. NavimetriX also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 57%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). PredictCurrent's advantage is ratings volume (255 vs 1) and chart position (#63 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. PredictCurrent sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month and NavimetriX sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $69.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NavimetriX holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PredictCurrent has 255 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of PredictCurrent's written reviews are positive against 86% of NavimetriX's.
PredictCurrent ships an update monthly, NavimetriX every 9 days. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
