Honest comparison · Offshore-only satellite imagery for SST + chlorophyll

FishTrack vs Fishare.

We respect what FishTrack does well. Here is exactly where we're different and where we're not.

What FishTrack owns
  • High-resolution NOAA SST satellite layers
  • Chlorophyll edges for offshore pelagic targeting
  • Long history serving the bluewater tournament fleet
Where Fishare is different
  • Bite score from a real neural network. Theirs is raw satellite layers — you do the interpretation.
  • Inshore + offshore in one app. Theirs is offshore-only — useless for harbour or estuary trips.
  • AIS + tide on the same canvas, with surface currents across AU east and NZ. Theirs is SST/chlorophyll-focused.
  • Free to browse. Theirs starts at US$20.99/mo after a two-week free trial, by their own upgrade page.
  • Species-aware scoring across 207 profiled species. Theirs is "find the edge", you score it manually.

When you should stay with FishTrack

What Fishare doesn't do (yet or by design)

If your boat range is 50+nm and you live on the SST front, they're the better tool for that specific job. Inshore, mixed-use, or kayak fishing, a bite score that already factored the SST front into the answer is what you actually want.

Frequently asked

Is Fishare really free?

The forecast side is free forever — live map, bite score, 7-day forecast and spot pages, no account needed to browse. The ocean-intelligence layers (SST with isotherms and break detection, HSI habitat heatmap, chlorophyll, subsurface temperatures, altimetry) are the single paid tier: US$5.99/mo or US$49.99/yr across every covered region, with a free look over a window of your own local water.

Where does the Fishare bite score come from?

A multi-input neural network scored per species, per hour — not a Solunar lookup. Inputs include wind, swell, tide stage, barometric pressure and trend, where the warm-cold water edges are, what the current is doing, moon phase, and a couple of dozen other features per hour. It is decision support built from live conditions, not a guarantee — we publish no accuracy figure, and some days the score is high and the water is dead.

Does Fishare have an iOS or Android app?

Yes — the native iOS app is on the App Store (search is still indexing; the direct link is apps.apple.com/app/fishare/id6783726939), and it is free for everyone: there is no paid-tier gate on the app itself. A native Android app is on its way to Google Play. Until it lands, Fishare runs on Android as a Progressive Web App: open fishare.app in Chrome, then 'Add to Home Screen' — offline support and push notifications included.
