# PredictCurrent vs Outgoing Tide

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Outgoing Tide at 100% against PredictCurrent's 57%. Outgoing Tide also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). PredictCurrent's advantage is ratings volume (255 vs 5) and chart position (#62 vs #198). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PredictCurrent sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month and Outgoing Tide sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Outgoing Tide 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 5, 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 100% of Outgoing Tide's.

PredictCurrent ships an update monthly, Outgoing Tide fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
