Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: FishTrack at free with in-app purchases against SeaView Mobile's subscription. FishTrack also leads on ratings volume (6.3K vs 1) and chart position (#62 vs unranked). SeaView Mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
