# NHC Hurricane Tracker vs Flood

The clearest difference is update cadence: Flood at daily against NHC Hurricane Tracker's every 11 days. Flood also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). NHC Hurricane Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (326 vs 1) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NHC Hurricane Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Flood sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $13.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NHC Hurricane Tracker has 326 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
