# OZ Weather vs MCWX

The clearest difference is ads: OZ Weather at none against MCWX's shown. OZ Weather also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). MCWX's advantage is chart position (#207 vs unranked) and ratings volume (327 vs 48). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for OZ Weather against 4.9 for MCWX. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MCWX has 327 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of OZ Weather's written reviews are positive against 92% of MCWX's.
