# Weather Widget® vs Drying Day

The clearest difference is ads: Weather Widget® at none against Drying Day's shown. Weather Widget® also leads on chart position (#143 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Drying Day's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weather Widget® sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Drying Day sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Weather Widget® ships an update every 2 months, Drying Day fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
