Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Lightning Tracker with Alerts sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Thunderly asks for nothing beyond the download.
Thunderly holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thunderly has 2.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Thunderly's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lightning Tracker with Alerts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
