# The Weather Forecast App vs StormLytics

The clearest difference is rating: StormLytics at 5.0 against The Weather Forecast App's 4.5. The Weather Forecast App's advantage is ratings volume (51K vs 1) and chart position (#33 vs #196). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Weather Forecast App sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and StormLytics sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
