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 + currents + tide on the same canvas. Theirs is SST/chlorophyll-focused.
  • Free to browse vs their subscription tier ($120+/yr last published).
  • Species-aware scoring across 1067 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?

Yes — the live map, bite score, 7-day forecast and spot pages are free to browse with no account. Logging catches and getting push notifications when peaks open requires a free account. There is no paid tier today.

How is Fishare different from FishTrack?

Where does the Fishare bite score come from?

A feedforward neural network (27→32→16→1) trained on 2.5M real catches across 1067 species. Validation loss 0.0063. Inputs include wind, swell, tide stage, SST gradient, current shear, moon phase and ~20 more features per hour — not a 1926 Solunar lookup.

Does Fishare have an iOS or Android app?

Fishare is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — open fishare.app in mobile Safari or Chrome, then 'Add to Home Screen'. It runs offline, sends push notifications, and stays in sync without an app-store install. Native iOS / Android builds are on the roadmap.
