# Snow vs NimbusWx

The clearest difference is rating: Snow at 4.9 against NimbusWx's 1.5. Snow also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 2) and review sentiment (47% vs 33%). NimbusWx's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Snow sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and NimbusWx sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Snow holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snow has 1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of Snow's written reviews are positive against 33% of NimbusWx's.

Snow ships an update every 3 weeks, NimbusWx every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
