Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: StormPrepared at free against Weather360's freemium. Weather360's advantage is ratings volume (61 vs 2) and chart position (#107 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Weather360 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and StormPrepared sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
StormPrepared holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather360 has 61 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Weather360 ships an update weekly, StormPrepared every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
