Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Blue Cruises at none against CloudGuide's 11. Blue Cruises also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). CloudGuide's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 14%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
