# PredictWind vs Seabreeze.com.au

The clearest difference is ads: PredictWind at none against Seabreeze.com.au's shown. PredictWind also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 19) and chart position (#23 vs unranked). Seabreeze.com.au's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 11 days) and review sentiment (93% vs 84%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PredictWind sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Seabreeze.com.au sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for PredictWind against 4.7 for Seabreeze.com.au. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PredictWind has 33K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of PredictWind's written reviews are positive against 93% of Seabreeze.com.au's.

PredictWind ships an update every 11 days, Seabreeze.com.au every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
