Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Wind & Weather Meter at Free against Anemometer's $2.99. Wind & Weather Meter also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (26% vs 18%). Anemometer's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and chart position (#117 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Wind & Weather Meter is free to download; Anemometer costs $2.99 up front. Anemometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Wind & Weather Meter asks for nothing beyond the download.
Anemometer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anemometer has 47 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Wind & Weather Meter's written reviews are positive against 18% of Anemometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wind & Weather Meter ships an update every 3 months, Anemometer every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
