# Acme Weather vs Nullschool

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nullschool at 100% against Acme Weather's 62%. Nullschool also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Acme Weather's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 40) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Acme Weather sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $25.00 per year 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 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Acme Weather has 2.9K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Acme Weather's written reviews are positive against 100% of Nullschool's.

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