# AIM Weather vs Lightning Tracker

The clearest difference is ads: Lightning Tracker at none against AIM Weather's shown. AIM Weather's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AIM Weather sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year and Lightning Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
