# 天气通 vs 看天

The clearest difference is rating: 天气通 at 4.4 against 看天's 4.0. 天气通 also leads on ratings volume (551 vs 17) and review sentiment (88% vs 79%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 天气通 sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and 看天 sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

天气通 holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 天气通 has 551 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two.
