Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Storm team 12 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Storm team 12 has 23K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Storm team 12's written reviews are positive against 80% of StormTracker 12's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Storm team 12 ships an update every 2 months, StormTracker 12 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
