Switch between them instantly to compare profiles and pick your preferred conservatism. True CCR planning Full setpoint management throughout your dive. Track your scrubber time and know exactly where you stand. Plan with the variables that actually matter for rebreather diving. Breathe easy Real-time gas density calculations for every phase of your dive. Know exactly when you're approaching the recommended limits and plan your diluent choice accordingly. Because work of breathing matters. Bailout planning that works Plan realistic bailout scenarios for cave and overhead environments. Configure multiple bailout gases, see your gas requirements, and know you have a solid plan B. Works anywhere No internet required.

OVM Diveplanner is an OC/CC (rebreather), mixed gas, multi-level, repetitive dive, decompression planner based on Bühlman ZHL/16C with configurable gradient factors or VPM/B. It tracks CNS and OTU's. Auto-calculates bailout profiles when in CCR mode. Create your dive profile by entering a list of depths of adding waypoints in the visual planner mode. Use predefined gasses or add your own custom mix. Also provides several gas mix tools for estimating gas results when topping off your tanks. This will give an estimate if boosting tanks leads to undisiarable results, before mixing. The app contains a user manual which is also available online at https://www.ovm-planner.com/user-manual.html. The app is intended for certified who whish to create an estimate of their dive profile and gas usages when executing deep decompression dives, helping in determining the required amount of decompression gas or bail-out gas needed. It can also be used to create an ascent profile to which you can fallback on when the divers computer fails underwater, or use for sanity checking you dive computer during the dive. The app works standalone and offline. It does not require an account and does not store any data except app settings such as breathing rate and entered dive settings. No external connections, software or hardware is required. No subscribtion of in-app purchases needed or possible.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CCR Junk at every 6 days against OVM's every 3 weeks. CCR Junk also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). OVM's advantage is price ($7.99 vs $8.99). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
