# WeatherFront vs Nullschool

The clearest difference is rating: Nullschool at 5.0 against WeatherFront's 4.8. Nullschool also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 90%). WeatherFront's advantage is ratings volume (476 vs 40) and chart position (#34 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WeatherFront sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Nullschool sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nullschool holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WeatherFront has 476 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of WeatherFront's written reviews are positive against 100% of Nullschool's.

WeatherFront ships an update fortnightly, Nullschool monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
