# The Province vs Climateer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Climateer at 100% against The Province's 5%. Climateer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.2) and monetization model (free vs subscription). The Province's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Province sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Climateer sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Climateer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Province has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

The Province ships an update monthly, Climateer weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
