# 彩云天气Pro vs 白话天气

The clearest difference is price: 白话天气 at Free against 彩云天气Pro's $14.99. 白话天气 also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.7) and ads (none vs shown). 彩云天气Pro's advantage is ratings volume (232 vs 2) and chart position (#26 vs unranked). On update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

白话天气 is free to download; 彩云天气Pro costs $14.99 up front. 彩云天气Pro sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and 白话天气 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

白话天气 holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 彩云天气Pro has 232 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of 彩云天气Pro's written reviews are positive against 58% of 白话天气's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
