# Tide forecast vs Chasing Tides

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chasing Tides at none against Tide forecast's 1. Chasing Tides also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Tide forecast's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tide forecast sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Chasing Tides asks for nothing beyond the download.
