# Weather Mate Pro vs HamPulse

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Weather Mate Pro at 83% against HamPulse's 0%. Weather Mate Pro also leads on ratings volume (6.2K vs 2) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). HamPulse's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Weather Mate Pro costs $7.99 and HamPulse $4.99 up front. Weather Mate Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. HamPulse asks for nothing beyond the download.

HamPulse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather Mate Pro has 6.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Weather Mate Pro's written reviews are positive against 0% of HamPulse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Weather Mate Pro ships an update every 6 weeks, HamPulse daily. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
