# C vs WeatherCAN

The clearest difference is rating: WeatherCAN at 4.0 against C's 1.0. C's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 29%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

WeatherCAN holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of C's written reviews are positive against 29% of WeatherCAN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

C ships an update every 5 weeks, WeatherCAN every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
