# WeatherGraph vs MetaWeather

The clearest difference is rating: MetaWeather at 4.7 against WeatherGraph's 4.3. WeatherGraph's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 59%) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WeatherGraph sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MetaWeather sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MetaWeather holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 103 and 54 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of WeatherGraph's written reviews are positive against 59% of MetaWeather's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WeatherGraph ships an update fortnightly, MetaWeather every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
