Hi, I'm Steven Musumeche, a resident of Lafayette, LA and avid saltwater fisherman. I created Salty Solutions to answer a question that I'm always asking myself: When should I go fishing? Like most of you, I have a limited amount of time that I can devote to fishing. When I plan my next fishing trip, I want to make sure the conditions are conducive to a productive day on the water. There are lots of great websites and apps available with information about weather, tides, and more. However, none of them gave me everything that I wanted to know in a way that could be quickly viewed and easily digested. I'm a software engineer by trade, so I thought, "hey, I can make something decent enough for personal use." After showing it to a few fellow fisherman, I decided to release it publicly for anyone to use for free. I hope you find it useful.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Salty Solutions at 4.8 against Global tide's 3.9. Salty Solutions also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 32) and review sentiment (90% vs 74%). Global tide's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Global tide sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Salty Solutions sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Salty Solutions holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Salty Solutions has 1.6K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Global tide's written reviews are positive against 90% of Salty Solutions's.
Global tide ships an update monthly, Salty Solutions every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
