ABOUT THE NAME In Venezuela, "Llegó Pacheco" — Pacheco has arrived — means the cold has come. The expression remembers Antonio Pacheco, a flower farmer who came down from Galipán, on the El Ávila hill, to sell his flowers in Caracas at the end of November. His arrival coincided with the start of the cold season, and the phrase stayed in the language. Weather data by Apple Weather.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pacheco at none against Roam Weather's 3. Pacheco also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). Roam Weather's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
