# PredictCurrent vs SeaStatus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SeaStatus at 100% against PredictCurrent's 57%. SeaStatus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (daily vs monthly). PredictCurrent's advantage is ratings volume (270 vs 1) and chart position (#74 vs unranked). 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 SeaStatus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SeaStatus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PredictCurrent has 270 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 100% of SeaStatus's.

PredictCurrent ships an update monthly, SeaStatus daily. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
