# BAM Weather vs WeatherWise.app

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BAM Weather at none against WeatherWise.app's 6. WeatherWise.app's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 56%) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WeatherWise.app sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. BAM Weather asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for BAM Weather against 4.6 for WeatherWise.app. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WeatherWise.app has 800 ratings behind it against 102, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of BAM Weather's written reviews are positive against 77% of WeatherWise.app's.
