# TornadoSpy+ vs My Hurricane Tracker Pro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Hurricane Tracker Pro at 86% against TornadoSpy+'s 41%. My Hurricane Tracker Pro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.9) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). TornadoSpy+'s advantage is price ($2.99 vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

TornadoSpy+ costs $2.99 and My Hurricane Tracker Pro $3.99 up front. TornadoSpy+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year and My Hurricane Tracker Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Hurricane Tracker Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Hurricane Tracker Pro has 5.8K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two.
