# FishTrack vs PredictCurrent

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.

Both are free to download. FishTrack sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and PredictCurrent sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for FishTrack against 4.5 for PredictCurrent. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FishTrack has 6.2K ratings behind it against 255, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 38% of FishTrack's written reviews are positive against 57% of PredictCurrent's.

FishTrack ships an update every 5 months, PredictCurrent monthly. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
