Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Currents at 60% against DiveFree's 0%. Currents also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). DiveFree's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (6.1 vs 26.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. DiveFree sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Currents sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DiveFree holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Currents has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of DiveFree's written reviews are positive against 60% of Currents's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DiveFree ships an update every 4 months, Currents every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
