# Weather Hi vs WeatherGraph

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WeatherGraph at 78% against Weather Hi's 35%. WeatherGraph also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Weather Hi's advantage is ratings volume (77K vs 103) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Weather Hi holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather Hi has 77K ratings behind it against 103, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Weather Hi's written reviews are positive against 78% of WeatherGraph's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
