# DiveGenius vs Actual Currents

The clearest difference is rating: Actual Currents at 4.7 against DiveGenius's 3.5. Actual Currents also leads on chart position (#198 vs unranked) and review sentiment (60% vs 50%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DiveGenius sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Actual Currents sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Actual Currents holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Actual Currents has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of DiveGenius's written reviews are positive against 60% of Actual Currents's.

DiveGenius ships an update weekly, Actual Currents fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
