# Amemil vs Mercury Weather

The clearest difference is ads: Mercury Weather at none against Amemil's shown. Mercury Weather also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and review sentiment (65% vs 43%). Amemil's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Amemil sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and Mercury Weather sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Amemil holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mercury Weather has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Amemil's written reviews are positive against 65% of Mercury Weather's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Amemil ships an update every 3 weeks, Mercury Weather every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
