Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FerryFriend at 4.9 against Seabrook Shuttle's 2.5. FerryFriend also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 2) and chart position (#63 vs unranked). Seabrook Shuttle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. FerryFriend sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.00 per month. Seabrook Shuttle asks for nothing beyond the download.
FerryFriend holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FerryFriend has 2.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of FerryFriend's written reviews are positive against 100% of Seabrook Shuttle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
