# AIM Weather vs Earthquake Network

The clearest difference is price: AIM Weather at Free against Earthquake Network's $1.99. AIM Weather also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Earthquake Network's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

AIM Weather is free to download; Earthquake Network costs $1.99 up front. AIM Weather sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year and Earthquake Network sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 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 — 4.4 for AIM Weather against 4.6 for Earthquake Network. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Earthquake Network has 2.2K ratings behind it against 154, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of AIM Weather's written reviews are positive against 35% of Earthquake Network's.

AIM Weather ships an update every 15 months, Earthquake Network every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
