# Golfweather.com vs ThorAlert

The clearest difference is rating: ThorAlert at 4.0 against Golfweather.com's 2.6. ThorAlert also leads on chart position (#203 vs unranked). Golfweather.com's advantage is review sentiment (24% vs 0%) and ratings volume (173 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ThorAlert holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golfweather.com has 173 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Golfweather.com's written reviews are positive against 0% of ThorAlert's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Golfweather.com ships an update every 3 months, ThorAlert every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
