# 极简天气 vs 粉度

The clearest difference is rating: 粉度 at 5.0 against 极简天气's 4.3. 粉度 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). 极简天气's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 极简天气 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. 粉度 asks for nothing beyond the download.

粉度 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 极简天气 has 28 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 67% and 66% positive.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
