# Weatherzone vs Celsius 2

The clearest difference is ads: Celsius 2 at none against Weatherzone's shown. Celsius 2 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (70% vs 56%). Weatherzone's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weatherzone sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per year and Celsius 2 sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Celsius 2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weatherzone has 1.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Weatherzone's written reviews are positive against 70% of Celsius 2's.

Weatherzone ships an update every 2 months, Celsius 2 every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
