# Windfinder vs Meduseo

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Meduseo at none against Windfinder's 9. Meduseo also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). Windfinder's advantage is ratings volume (63K vs 3) and chart position (#46 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Windfinder sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Meduseo asks for nothing beyond the download.

Meduseo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Windfinder has 63K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 81% and 81% positive.

Windfinder ships an update every 4 weeks, Meduseo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
