Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PredictCurrent at none against FishTrack's shown. PredictCurrent also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (57% vs 38%). FishTrack's advantage is ratings volume (6.2K vs 255) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
