Astrosee helps amateur astronomers decide when to observe. Instead of opening several weather, moon, and sky tools, Astrosee gives you a clear seeing score for tonight and explains what is driving it: clouds, transparency, wind, darkness, moon phase, humidity, and the best observing window. Highlights: • Real-time observing score for your location • Tonight window with darkness, moon impact, and practical guidance • 7-day astronomy weather planner • Moon phase and illumination context for deep-sky observing • Weather breakdown: clouds, wind, humidity, temperature, and pressure • Sky targets with visibility guidance • Meteor showers, ISS passes, satellites, and notable sky events • Observation log for quick session notes • Home Screen widget for quick conditions Astrosee is built for practical telescope decisions: when to set up, what to expect, and what is worth trying tonight. Privacy-first: no account, no advertising, no analytics backend, and no cross-app tracking.

Suncast tells you when the sun is going to shine — before it happens. Instead of vague weather symbols, Suncast turns MET Norway cloud-cover data into a clear hourly sunshine percentage, so you can see exactly which hours of the day are worth stepping outside for. KEY FEATURES Hourly sunshine chart A clean, easy-to-read graph shows the sunshine probability for every upcoming hour, so you can plan your walk, run, ride or coffee break around the brightest moments of the day. Sunshine alerts on your hours Choose the hours you care about and Suncast sends a notification when sunshine is on the way. No more staring out the window — your phone lets you know when it's time to head outside. Sunrise & sunset aware Forecasts account for the real daylight at your location. Suncast never promises sun after dark and eases the numbers around sunrise and sunset for honest, realistic expectations. Anywhere in the world Search any location on Earth, with instant results for hundreds of Dutch towns and cities and worldwide coverage for everywhere else. Save your favourite spots and switch between them with a single tap. Made to feel good - Beautiful light and dark themes that follow your system or your own choice - Full Dutch and English support - No account, no sign-up — just open it and go - Free to use, supported by ads Suncast is for anyone who lives for the sunny moments: dog walkers, cyclists, gardeners, terrace-hunters and everyone who'd rather chase the light than the grey. Weather data by MET Norway.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Astrosee at none against Suncast's shown. Suncast's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
