# TideIn vs Weather Radar

The clearest difference is ads: TideIn at none against Weather Radar's shown. TideIn also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TideIn sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Weather Radar sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
