Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Seashine at 4.8 against Armada.io's 4.0. Seashine also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 1). Armada.io's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seashine sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Armada.io sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Seashine holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seashine has 4.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Seashine's written reviews are positive against 100% of Armada.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Seashine ships an update monthly, Armada.io every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
