# Weather Mate vs Celsius 2

The clearest difference is rating: Celsius 2 at 5.0 against Weather Mate's 4.4. Celsius 2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.0). Weather Mate's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weather Mate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Celsius 2 sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Celsius 2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather Mate has 3.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Weather Mate's written reviews are positive against 70% of Celsius 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Weather Mate ships an update every 5 weeks, Celsius 2 every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
