# Weather⁺ vs Weather Witch

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Weather⁺ at 145K against Weather Witch's 64. Weather⁺ also leads on chart position (#84 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). Weather Witch's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weather⁺ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Weather Witch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Weather⁺ against 4.5 for Weather Witch. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather⁺ has 145K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Weather⁺ ships an update every 5 weeks, Weather Witch fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
