Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Netatmo Weather at none against Windy.com's 10. Windy.com's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (79K vs 1.6K). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Windy.com sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Netatmo Weather asks for nothing beyond the download.
Windy.com holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Windy.com has 79K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Netatmo Weather's written reviews are positive against 89% of Windy.com's.
Netatmo Weather ships an update every 2 months, Windy.com every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
