I love riding to work. It's a freeing experience that pulls me away from the daily drag. The issue? Too many times did I get burnt by not studying the forecast well enough and getting rained on. Instead of enjoying my ride, I found myself cursing at the sky and stressed at work about if it'll clear up. But no more! My frustration and many others like me led me to build ShouldIRide. Users can select the weather parameters that they are comfortable riding in and be notified each day they choose, whether or not it's a good day to ride! The app is free! If you like riding, give it a shot and leave some feedback please! :)

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ClimateCruise at 4.7 against ShouldIRide's 2.8. ClimateCruise also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and review sentiment (50% vs 38%). ShouldIRide's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
