# FMI Weather vs Meteox

The clearest difference is rating: Meteox at 4.2 against FMI Weather's 3.0. Meteox also leads on ratings volume (51 vs 2). FMI Weather's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meteox sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per year. FMI Weather asks for nothing beyond the download.
