# Weather for Austria vs MeteoSwiss

The clearest difference is ads: MeteoSwiss at none against Weather for Austria's shown. MeteoSwiss also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (140 vs 1). Weather for Austria's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 62%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weather for Austria sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MeteoSwiss sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $46.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MeteoSwiss holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MeteoSwiss has 140 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Weather for Austria's written reviews are positive against 62% of MeteoSwiss's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Weather for Austria ships an update every 3 months, MeteoSwiss monthly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
