# WeatherMax+ vs Weather360

The clearest difference is monetization model: WeatherMax+ at free against Weather360's freemium. WeatherMax+ also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Weather360's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WeatherMax+ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Weather360 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Weather360 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather360 has 44 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of WeatherMax+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Weather360's.

WeatherMax+ ships an update every 3 weeks, Weather360 every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
