# SailFlow vs WindowForecast

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WindowForecast at none against SailFlow's 10. WindowForecast also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). SailFlow's advantage is ratings volume (5.8K vs 2) and chart position (#35 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SailFlow sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. WindowForecast asks for nothing beyond the download.

WindowForecast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SailFlow has 5.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of SailFlow's written reviews are positive against 100% of WindowForecast's.
