# Weather⁺ vs Fine°

Weather⁺ and Fine° both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of Weather⁺'s written reviews are positive against 49% of Fine°'s. Weather⁺ also leads on ratings volume (145K vs 736) and chart position (#92 vs unranked). Fine°'s advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

Weather⁺ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather⁺ has 145K ratings behind it against 736, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Weather⁺'s written reviews are positive against 49% of Fine°'s.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
