Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: 9Weather at Free against Cloudy's $0.99. 9Weather also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). Cloudy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

9Weather is free to download; Cloudy costs $0.99 up front. 9Weather sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.89 per 7 days. Cloudy asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

9Weather holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 59 and 167 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Cloudy's written reviews are positive against 61% of 9Weather's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cloudy ships an update every 10 days, 9Weather every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
