# Weather ++++ vs Weather Witch

The clearest difference is monetization model: Weather Witch at free with in-app purchases against Weather ++++'s subscription. Weather ++++'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weather ++++ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Weather Witch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
