# WindAlert vs SPC Mesoanalysis

The clearest difference is price: WindAlert at Free against SPC Mesoanalysis's $3.99. WindAlert also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 3). SPC Mesoanalysis's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

WindAlert is free to download; SPC Mesoanalysis costs $3.99 up front. WindAlert sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. SPC Mesoanalysis asks for nothing beyond the download.

WindAlert holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WindAlert has 4.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of WindAlert's written reviews are positive against 100% of SPC Mesoanalysis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
