# Yahoo Weather vs WindWise

The clearest difference is ads: WindWise at none against Yahoo Weather's shown. WindWise also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Yahoo Weather's advantage is ratings volume (191K vs 1) and chart position (#84 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

WindWise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yahoo Weather has 191K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
