Honest comparison · The reference Solunar bite-times website

Solunar.com vs Fishare.

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

What Solunar.com owns
  • Reference-grade Solunar feeding-time tables
  • Free + ad-supported
  • Decade-old domain authority on "solunar" queries
Where Fishare is different
  • Bite-score from a real neural network trained on millions of real catches. Theirs is the 1926 Solunar feeding-time table — moon/sun position only.
  • 27 features per hour factored into the answer: wind direction + speed, swell period, SST, water temp, tide stage, pressure trend, current direction. Solunar is one input among many.
  • Per-spot, per-species. Theirs is generic by location only.
  • Unified live map with all conditions. Theirs is text tables + a moon graphic.

When you should stay with Solunar.com

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

Solunar is a 1926 theory. Modern catch data shows tide stage and wind direction explain more bite variance than moon position alone. If you want Solunar plus all the modern weather + tide + SST + current variables, the bite score is the play. If you only want the moon table, theirs is the canonical source.

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 Solunar.com?

Solunar is a 1926 theory. Modern catch data shows tide stage and wind direction explain more bite variance than moon position alone.

Where does the Fishare bite score come from?

A multi-input neural network trained on millions of real catches across over 1,000 species — not a Solunar lookup. Inputs include wind, swell, tide stage, where the warm-cold water edges are, what the current is doing, moon phase, and a couple of dozen other features per hour. The model has been validated against catch data we held back from training. The catches keep coming in, so the model keeps getting sharper.

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.
