# 天气通Pro vs 云起天气

The clearest difference is rating: 云起天气 at 5.0 against 天气通Pro's 4.1. 云起天气 also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). 天气通Pro's advantage is ratings volume (78 vs 3) and review sentiment (91% vs 74%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 天气通Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year and 云起天气 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

云起天气 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 天气通Pro has 78 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of 天气通Pro's written reviews are positive against 74% of 云起天气's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

天气通Pro ships an update every 6 weeks, 云起天气 every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
