A lot of what Cobia reads is public data
Tide predictions come from NOAA. Weather comes from public forecast models. Bathymetry comes from federal surveys. Those are open datasets, and Cobia reads them for you rather than making you open four apps to find them.
What Cobia adds is the synthesis, and it gets better the more anglers use it. That is the part worth building.
The pricing questions people actually have
The daily briefing, the AI fishing guide with no message limit, animated weather and wind maps, radar, NOAA tide curves, solunar windows, water conditions, depth contours, habitat layers, Strike Zones, the catch heatmap, water body pages, the Cobia Camera, catch and video logging, the Fishdex™, Slams, crowns, Strike Points leagues, the tackle box with receipt and UPC scanning, what to throw recommendations, the community feed, Bites, direct messages, Slam invites, and regulations.
Nothing. Every feature in the app is free.
No. There is no countdown, no locked feature that used to be open, and no nag screen on the parts of the app you use daily. Nothing in the app is time limited.
Not in the feed. Brands can have profiles and post like any other account, and local tackle shops are pinned on the map, but the feed is not an advertising surface and lure recommendations are not for sale.
For the features that matter, most of them charge a subscription. Fishbrain Pro is $79.99 a year, FishAngler VIP, Fishidy Premium and Fishing Points Premium are $49.99 a year each, and onWater Pro is $89.99 a year, as of October 2026. See them side by side.
