# 天气预报 vs 天气通Pro

The clearest difference is rating: 天气预报 at 4.6 against 天气通Pro's 4.1. 天气预报 also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 78) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). 天气通Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (91% vs 79%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 天气预报 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and 天气通Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

天气预报 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 天气预报 has 2.3K ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of 天气预报's written reviews are positive against 91% of 天气通Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

天气预报 ships an update fortnightly, 天气通Pro every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
