# Weather⁺ vs Weather ..

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Weather .. at none against Weather⁺'s 12. Weather .. also leads on ads (none vs shown). Weather⁺'s advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 60%) and ratings volume (145K vs 21K). On price, rating, update cadence and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weather⁺ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Weather .. asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Weather⁺ against 4.5 for Weather ...
