Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: KYTX Radar at 70% against KOMO WX's 32%. KOMO WX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
KOMO WX holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KOMO WX has 970 ratings behind it against 97, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of KYTX Radar's written reviews are positive against 32% of KOMO WX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
KYTX Radar ships an update every 4 months, KOMO WX every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
