# Weather vs Storma

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Storma at 100% against Weather's 40%. Storma also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Weather's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (81 vs 12). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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