# Weather & Radar vs WeatherGraph

The clearest difference is ads: WeatherGraph at none against Weather & Radar's shown. WeatherGraph also leads on device support (5 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Weather & Radar's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (305K vs 103). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weather & Radar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and WeatherGraph sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Weather & Radar holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather & Radar has 305K ratings behind it against 103, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Weather & Radar's written reviews are positive against 78% of WeatherGraph's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
