# 天气预报 vs 云起天气

The clearest difference is ads: 云起天气 at none against 天气预报's shown. 云起天气 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). 天气预报's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 云起天气 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

云起天气 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 天气预报 has 2.3K ratings behind it against 1, 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 74% of 云起天气'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, 云起天气 every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
